As the video shows, many of the acceptance speeches were exceptionally brief, delivered in just three words, such as "Go Red Sox” and “Mami. Mami. Gracias."

El Planeta and BBJ challenged the awardees to make their acceptance speeches in three words or less.  For every word in excess of three, the awardee would donate $25 to Centro Latino of Chelsea, a nonprofit that provides education and social services for immigrants.  

Juan Vega (at the end of the video clip), executive director of Centro Latino and a guest at the breakfast event, said the nonprofit collected almost $5,000 that morning.
