Selena was an active philanthropist that did many things to help the community. She would visit schools and talked to the students about the importance of education and obtaining a high school diploma, avoiding drugs and alcohol, and the importance of pursuing one’s dreams. In 1993, she gave a free concert to those that improved their grades enormously. In addition, she donated $2,500 to School Programs. She also did a public service video titled “Mi Musica” that was sponsored by Agree Shampoo. In the video, she talked about Mexican music in America, but also mentioned about how education and graduating high school will help lead them to a better and successful future.
