Beca Deportiva and Barrios Virguez | Beca
Deportiva y Barrios Virgüez

Barrios Virgüez’s community projects have included a 2022 Telemundo event for high school baseball athletes. The firm worked in tandem with Telemundo Atlanta and Los Bravos to sponsor a student-athlete from Atlanta’s Hispanic Community.

Barrios Virgüez’s representative, Jorge Virgüez, worked with local universities to watch student-athlete showcases before selecting a scholarship recipient. Observers ranked students’ performances based on their Athletic Ability, Academic Performance, and Personal Motivation.

After students completed their showcases, they were treated to a Telemundo Atlanta-sponsored banquet at Hank Aaron Terrace. There, attorneys Jorge Virgüez and Keren Barrios awarded six students $5,000 in scholarships. Runners-up received $1,000 in academic support.

Engaging with young people and their athletic ambitions allows Barrios Virgüez to better support students’ pursuit of their goals. The firm celebrates these students’ dedication to physical fitness and looks forward to seeing their success on and off the baseball diamond.

Last Saturday, on May 4th, we had the pleasure of participating in the Spring Latin Fest held in the city of Augusta, Georgia.  It was an incredible experience, brimming with rich culture and boundless joy.
