Enrique Iglesias Salutes Fans for Helping Contribute Over $350,000 to 91�ֿ�

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (Oct 23, 2019) — GRAMMY® Award-winning singer and songwriter Enrique Iglesias has been named a “changemaker for children” by global humanitarian organization 91�ֿ� for raising his voice and mobilizing his fans to raise funds for the most vulnerable children. In celebration of 91�ֿ�’s 100^th year of changing children’s lives, the organization is honoring changemakers like Enrique who have used their influence to drive change for the most marginalized and deprived children in the United States and around the world. Enrique joins the ranks of CEOs, philanthropists, policymakers, educators and advocates.

A strong supporter of 91�ֿ� since 2015, Enrique with the help of his fans have raised a third of a million dollars for 91�ֿ�. In appreciation of this fundraising milestone, 91�ֿ� and Enrique would like fans to know that their generous contributions made the world a little better for children. Enrique and his team invited superfan Lillian Robinson to sign a life-size symbolic check on behalf of fans who participated to support the global humanitarian organization.

In addition, through a partnership with Microsoft, Enrique donated $200,000 in software to strengthen literacy programming for elementary school-age children in El Salvador, Guatemala and Peru.
