Last week, Bacardi U.S.A. spirits company made a gift of $51,000 to Tangelo Park Elementary School in Orange County, Fla.

Bacardi also donated art supplies to all the students

The funds came from Bacardi’s campaign Bacardi Cares and were accepted by the school’s principal Tashanda Brown-Cannon.

Brown-Cannon said the school will use the gift to upgrade technology in classrooms and replace cafeteria and classroom furniture.

The checks, one for $30,000 and another for about $21,000 were presented separately.

The school’s community partner in education, Harris Rosen, president of Rosen Hotels and Resort, was influential in contacting the Bacardi Corporation to help Tangelo Park Elementary in support of its motto “Excellence is the Only Option.”

Tangelo Park Elementary is located at 5115 Anzio St., Orlando, FL 32819 in Orange County.
