The Gumball Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that seeks to foster the next generation of socially responsible entrepreneurs equipping them with the tools to start their own ventures and zero percent loans to local entrepreneurs. The Gumball Foundation helps students start and run their own micro ventures as incentives to save for attendance to four-year institutions. Students are provided mentorship and guidance from high school until they start a professional job. The first and only Latino homebrew club in the United States, SoCal Cerveceros (SCC) was founded on a passion for homebrew and a love of craft beer. COLDXELA is the festival spotlight of this passion, bringing homebrewers, music, and local chefs together to support youth-led entrepreneurial ventures in the community. The Gumball Foundation has partnered with SoCal Cerveceros to create mutual synergy for social good through entrepreneurship and support of local constituents (both youth and adult entrepreneurs), local vendors, and small businesses by providing economic opportunity and a platform for homebrewers to share their craft beyond their homes via COLDXELA while raising funds for the Gumball Foundation.
