Three Cheers for Summerwood 2025 Live Más Winners!
The mood was electric one Thursday evening in April as Summerwood team members gathered with their friends and family in Summerwood Taco Bells spanning the East Coast to await the announcement of the 2025 Taco Bell Live Más Scholarship winners via a Zoom video call.
Summerwood President Matt D. was also on hand to offer well wishes and express his shared excitement at the impressive showing from our teams. Summerwood had an amazing 28 scholarship recipients this year! “Every part of this is incredible,” Matt shares.
Of the 28, we have 12 first-time winners and 16 “renewal scholarships” for people selected for their second and third times. The vibe on the video call could best be described as “Price is Right” style with applicants encouraged to guess how much they thought their scholarship amount would be.
In total, over $500,000 in scholarship funds were awarded to Summerwood people — the most for any Taco Bell franchisee! We count ourselves as proud “parents” with a front row seat on these impressive journeys!
