Ingrid Hoffmann and the National Mango Board partnered with students at the Food and Finance High School in New York City late last year to show at-home cooks tasty ways to spice up unique holiday dishes with fresh mango. Ingrid starred in a video demonstrating the centerpiece of her holiday feast, Snapper Pockets with Mango-Cilantro Mojo. For every view of the video, the National Mango Board donated $1 up to $5,000. In May 2010, the National Mango Board and Ingrid Hoffmann presented a $5,000 check to the Food and Finance High School.
