Russell Public Communications Marks 20th Anniversary, Renews Its College Scholarship Program

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Russell Public Communications, an award-winning public relations and public affairs firm based in Tucson, marked its 20^th anniversary this week and renewed its pledge to the Sahuaro Cougar Foundation to support college scholarships for graduating Sahuaro High School students. The firm launched the Russell Public Scholarship in 2012 and has since awarded $10,000 to college-bound Cougars. The renewed pledge announced today commits an additional $10,000 for future scholarships.

Company Founder/CEO Matt Russell, a 1985 graduate of Sahuaro High School, noted the importance of giving back and the central role that plays in the firm's purpose.

"This scholarship will continue to positively impact the lives of young men and women, just as Sahuaro High School made such a profound difference in mine."

In addition to the Sahuaro Cougar Foundation, the firm has also supported the Sandra Day O'Connor Institute for American Democracy, Lugo Charities, GAP Ministries, Arizona Historical Society, U.S. Capitol Page Alumni Association, National Comedy Center, and other regional and national non-profits.
