Mazda and Chargers Surprise 4 SoCal Teachers With $40,000
Irvine – November 10, 2026 -- Four Southern California educators each received a $10,000 donation for their schools from Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) and its local dealers, plus tickets to the Los Angeles Chargers' Legends Homecoming Game. The $40,000 total is part of Mazda's multiyear partnership with the Chargers.
Chargers players joined the surprise school visits
Chargers players went along with Mazda to each school to present the donations in person. All four honorees were then recognized on the field at SoFi Stadium on November 8, in front of Chargers fans.
The effort falls under Be Moved, Mazda's community engagement platform for people who uplift others. Mazda says the educators do that by helping students with diverse learning needs see their strengths, introducing new interests through creative programs, and encouraging young people to take on leadership roles.
