Citgo has endowed an educational outreach specialist position for the McNeese State University Banners Series with a pledge of $50,000 over the next five years. The Citgo Educational Outreach Specialist will coordinate the live Banners performances in the K-12 schools in this area, as well as the Young People's Concerts. To date for 2008, Banners has provided over 60 outreach events that have reached almost 15,000 young people. As a major corporate sponsor of the Banners Program, Citgo has donated an additional $10,000 to this year's series.
