Anheuser-Busch Foundation to Sponsor 2020 Presidential DebatesFrom Anheuser-Busch:

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, October 11, 2019 – The Anheuser-Busch Foundation announced today that it will be returning as a sponsor of the general election presidential debates. The announcement follows the news of the 2020 general election debate locations released today by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

“As an industry leader we are committed to playing an active role in strengthening our communities and our democracy,” said Cesar Vargas, Anheuser-Busch U.S. Chief External Affairs Officer. “The Anheuser-Busch Foundation’s sponsorship of the presidential debates is one of the ways that we support our democratic process and drive participation in elections.”

Since 2016 Anheuser-Busch has supported a number of events under their “Brew Democracy” initiative that aims to bring the nation’s political leaders together. The Anheuser-Busch Brew Across America Congressional Brewing Competition, now in its fourth year, has brought 30 members of Congress together at 20 different Anheuser-Busch breweries to learn about the more than 2.1 million jobs the beer industry creates in the U.S. while learning to brew beer with local ingredients.

“We are grateful for the Anheuser-Busch Foundation's long-standing support of the Commission on Presidential Debates' mission of civic engagement, "said Commission on Presidential Debates Co-Chair Frank Fahrenkopf.

For over 20 years, Anheuser-Busch and the Anheuser-Busch Foundation have worked to bring people together for a better America. The partnership between the Foundation and the Commission on Presidential Debates dates back to 1996.
