HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA – October 24, 2024 – Freeway Insurance, a division of Confie, the nation’s largest personal lines insurance distribution company, is proud to announce a new educational partnership with SLAM Foundation. SLAM is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to expanding K-12 tuition-free public charter schools in underrepresented communities across the country. The organization was founded by GRAMMY®-winning artist, international superstar, entrepreneur, and education advocate Armando Christian Pérez, Pitbull.
As part of this partnership, Freeway Insurance has contributed an educational insurance module to SLAM’s financial literacy curriculum, enabling students to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of insurance coverage and its benefits. This partnership was inspired by Pitbull’s involvement with Trackhouse Racing, where he holds an ownership stake, alongside Freeway Insurance’s sponsorship of NASCAR Cup Series driver Daniel Suárez. Fans will get their first glimpse of this collaboration when the newly designed Freeway car, featuring a bold FreewayFranchise.com design and SLAM logos, debuts at the Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on October 27.
“My Amigos and Amigas at Freeway Insurance have been dear friends of mine for several years so seeing their support for the SLAM Foundation is very rewarding”, said Daniel Suárez. “I have visited the SLAM school in Miami with Armando and even done a press conference in their radio studio with the students. It’s such a good organization and an investment in our future. I can’t be prouder of the work everyone is doing.”
“We are excited to launch this new partnership with Freeway Insurance,” said SLAM Chief Administrative Officer, Millie Sanchez. “As we continue to build on our relationship with NASCAR, this collaboration marks an important extension of our efforts to provide students with real-world exposure to careers in sports, media, and marketing. By teaming up with Freeway, we’re expanding our impact, furthering our mission and bringing our work to an even wider audience.”
Confie CEO Cesar Soriano emphasized that this collaboration is a natural extension of the company’s broader educational and philanthropic efforts. These include the annual Confie Scholarship Enablement Fund, which awards over $100,000 to deserving students, and the company’s role as a five-star national corporate sponsor of the national Toys for Tots toy drive.
“We are excited to kick off this partnership by contributing the educational insurance module to SLAM, and we look forward to expanding our involvement,” said Soriano. “We are inspired by SLAM’s dedication to fostering lifelong learners who excel academically and are eager to make a positive impact in the world.”
This partnership is the first step in a shared journey to educate and empower the next generation, leveraging the energy of NASCAR and the reach of Freeway Insurance to make a difference. Keep an eye out this weekend for the Freeway Franchise car, a symbol of this unique and inspiring collaboration!
