August 13, 2019

Tex-Mex fast casual Tijuana Flats is eliminating more than $1 million in medical debt for more than 1,000 residents and families in the Greater Orlando area.

It is working with AUA Private Equity and RIP Medical Debt, a national debt-buying nonprofit organization, on the effort, according to a press release.

"Giving back to the communities where we live and work is part of our core mission at Tijuana Flats," said Brian Wright, CEO, in the release. "It's an honor to be able to serve our hometown in more ways than one."

AUA Private Equity, which owns a majority stake in Tijuana Flats, put together a cohort of four portfolio companies that made a significant donation for the effort.
