HE&R Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month 2024

This year's theme is "Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together"

To kick off Hispanic Heritage Month 2024, the following email was sent to our team members as part of Hershey Entertainment & Resorts' celebrations.

Today begins the observance of Hispanic Heritage Month. From September 15 through October 15, we celebrate the unique history, diverse cultures, beautiful traditions and rich contributions of Hispanic Americans whose heritage has roots in Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Enacted into law in August 1988, the month is celebrated over 30 days to recognize the number of Central American countries that achieved independence in September and October, including Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras.

Hispanic Heritage Month 2024 Theme

This year's Hispanic Heritage Month themeis Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together. The White House Proclamationon National Hispanic Heritage Month 2023 highlighted the spirit of possibility demonstrated by the Hispanic population and their significant contributions to the growth of the United States in arts, business, government and grassroots movements, stating, "During National Hispanic Heritage Month, we salute the vital contributions of … the more than 62 million Latinos who help make our Nation stronger every day. Latino history is American history. It is a story of hard work, family, faith, pride, and possibility, and it is proof that there is nothing we cannot do when we do it together."
