Yo quiero graduation: Taco Bell, Mark Wahlberg team up for dropout prevention fundraiser

If you're in a run-for-the-border mood anyway, might we suggest that you slap a few extra dollars on the Taco Bell counter to help support organizations working to inspire teens to graduate high school? 

From April 7 to 21 at participating Taco Bell restaurants nationwide, customers can donate to the "Graduate To Go" campaign, in which one of the nation's largest fast food chains has committed to match customer contributions up to $1 million, nationwide.  

A similar fundraiser in 2010 resulted in a $2.2 million grant to Boys & Girls Clubs and other partner organizations.

Actor Mark Wahlberg — a high school dropout who recently announced his intention to complete his degree — will serve as spokesman for the campaign, appearing in videos and other advertising to raise awareness and encourage support of the fundraiser.
