PDNCF and Raiz Unveil FC Juárez Spirit Debit Card to Support Local Impact

The Paso del Norte Community Foundation proudly joined Raiz Federal Credit Union for the unveiling of the new FC Juárez Spirit Debit Card, held during a FC Juárez friendly match at Southwest University Park. Mica Short, Vice President of Development at PDNCF, took part in the launch ceremony, celebrating this impactful partnership and shared commitment to uplifting our community.

The FC Juárez Spirit Debit Card is part of Raiz’s Spirit Debit Card program, a give-back initiative that donates $0.05 to the Paso del Norte Community Foundation for every non-PIN transaction made with the card. These funds support local students, educators, and grassroots initiatives throughout the Borderland. In addition, cardholders receive a 10% discount at the FC Juárez team shop, blending team spirit with community impact.

Since the launch of the Spirit Debit Card program in 2019, Raiz members have helped raise more than $188,000 for schools and nonprofit efforts across the region. The addition of the FC Juárez card marks an exciting new chapter in the program, providing fans with another meaningful way to support their community.

Raiz’s ongoing investment in philanthropic partnerships like this one reflects its “people helping people” philosophy and commitment to building a stronger, healthier future for the binational, tri-state area.

PDNCF is proud to collaborate with Raiz as a Partner in Philanthropy, advancing shared goals to improve education, health, and quality of life for all who call our region home.
