奥斯汀德尔瓦莱学区教育基金会获F1全球社区奖：10万欧元资助1.2万名学生STEM通道
德克萨斯州特拉维斯县奥斯汀市，德尔瓦莱独立学区教育基金会（Del Valle ISD Education Foundation）10月22日宣布，该基金会在2026年F1美国大奖赛（MSC Cruises United States Grand Prix）期间荣获“F1 Allwyn 全球社区奖”，获得彩票娱乐公司 Allwyn 提供的10万欧元捐款。
据基金会与 Allwyn 经 GlobeNewswire 发布的通稿，这笔捐款将直接用于“快车道”（Fast Track）计划，扩大教师资助、学生奖学金和 STEM 教育机会，惠及当地12000名学生。尽管德尔瓦莱社区就坐落在美洲赛道（Circuit of the Americas，COTA）和高科技产业的阴影之下，但85%的学生生活在服务不足的社区，面临系统性挑战，难以分享本地的繁荣。“快车道”是一项自下而上的综合劳动力发展计划，旨在消除学生获取工具的成本障碍，资助以赛车和科技为主题的 STEM 创新项目，并通过工作坊和实地参访让学生直接接触行业，把高中课堂与奥斯汀蓬勃发展的科技工程行业连接起来。
Allwyn 集团首席品牌官、奖项评委 Tatiana Jouanneau 表示，该项目“为数千名当地青年的经济流动提供了直接通道”。F1 可持续发展负责人 Ellen Jones 称赞项目以可追踪的关键绩效指标锚定长期问责。基金会执行董事 Josh Thomas 表示，这笔奖金让基金会得以启动“快车道”，资助实习、奖学金和配套支持，帮助学生获得改变人生的机会。这是该奖项2026年表彰的第五家机构。（GSM 据 GlobeNewswire 通稿）
Austin's Del Valle ISD Education Foundation Wins F1 Allwyn Global Community Award: €100,000 to Fund STEM Pathways for 12,000 Students
In Austin, Travis County, Texas, the Del Valle ISD Education Foundation announced on October 22 that it has won the F1 Allwyn Global Community Award at the 2026 Formula 1 MSC Cruises United States Grand Prix, receiving a €100,000 donation from lottery-led entertainment company Allwyn.
According to the GlobeNewswire release, the donation will directly fund the foundation's Fast Track initiative to expand teaching grants, student scholarships and STEM opportunities for 12,000 local students. Despite living in the shadow of Circuit of the Americas (COTA) and the high-tech industry, 85 percent of Del Valle students live in underserved communities and face systemic challenges that keep them from sharing in local prosperity. Fast Track is a ground-up workforce development plan that removes cost barriers to the tools students need, funds racing- and technology-themed STEM innovation grants, and connects high school classrooms with Austin's thriving technology and engineering sectors through workshops and field trips.
Tatiana Jouanneau, Allwyn's group chief brand officer and an award judge, said the project offers a direct route toward economic mobility for thousands of local young people. Ellen Jones, Formula 1's head of ESG and also a judge, praised the project for anchoring long-term accountability in trackable KPIs. Josh Thomas, the foundation's executive director, said the award allows the foundation to launch Fast Track, funding internships, scholarships and wraparound support to help students access life-changing opportunities. The foundation is the fifth organization recognized by the award in 2026. (GSM, based on the GlobeNewswire release)
