Santos won the recognition for his successful career and positive impact\u00a0on society and the university.<\/p>\n<p>Gino has been a critical part of the institution&#8217;s growth by financially supporting not only the University, but also, current and future students that aim to pursue their studies at <span class=\"xn-org\">Stetson<\/span> but don&#8217;t have the financial resources to cover all their educational expenses. Santos established &#8220;The Orestes Santos Music Scholarship&#8221; awarded to Hispanic students residing in <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami-Dade<\/span> or <span class=\"xn-location\">Broward<\/span> counties, who are accepted by the institution and are enrolled as music majors. The scholarship serves as a bridge to cover all of the educational expenses the student may have that are not covered by other financial grants.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The scholarship is named after my father, Orestes Santos, a famous Cuban songwriter and musician. My father was a man to whom music and art were a way of life, and not of living. This scholarship is to honor him, his career, and his values. Still, it is also a contribution to our Hispanic heritage and an investment in all the future Hispanic music artists that we have in <span class=\"xn-location\">South Florida<\/span>,&#8221; Gino said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is such an honor to receive the Distinguished Alumni Award as recognition for my business career and involvement with the community. This year seven students can attend <span class=\"xn-org\">Stetson<\/span> because of our scholarship, and knowing that I am supporting them in reaching their goals and dreams makes me feel very proud of what we are doing at Premium Blends,&#8221; stated Santos.<\/p>\n<p>For Gino, there is a need to increase the investment in the\u00a0arts, making sure students that want to pursue a major in music, theater, and other artistic pursuits, have the same opportunities and support as those aiming for a STEM degree. As a successful businessman, Santos recognizes the responsibility he has with future generations and the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Premium Blend, Inc. is a company with 30 years in the low-proof liquor business located in <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami, FL.<\/span> Premium Blend makes it possible for venues with only a wine license to serve cocktails legally. In addition to a Bachelor&#8217;s degree in Psychology from <span class=\"xn-org\">Stetson<\/span>, Santos holds an MBA from the <span class=\"xn-org\">University of Miami<\/span> and a Masters in Entrepreneurship\u00a0from <span class=\"xn-org\">MIT<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  Premium Blend<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">MIAMI<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">Nov. 25, 2019<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212;\u00a0On <span class=\"xn-chron\">Saturday, November 9<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Gino Santos<\/span>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2652208-1&amp;h=714171508&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fpremiumblend.com%2F&amp;a=Premium+Blend%27s\" rel=\"nofollow\">Premium Blend&#8217;s<\/a>\u00a0Founder and CEO, received the 2019 Distinguished Alumni Award from his <span class=\"xn-person\">Alma Mater<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-org\">Stetson&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comida-y-bebida"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73109\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
