 AMSCOT FINANCIAL DONATES TO BREVARD SCHOOLS FOUNDATION

Contributions Up 22% from Last Year

  

Viera, FL – Thanks to Amscot Financial’s “Just A Dollar” campaign, nearly $3,000 was raised recently for Brevard Schools Foundation.  Amscot conducts an annual giving campaign inviting customers to donate $1 in support of public education.  This is the fourth year of their campaign.  Amscot partners with education foundations in 15 counties throughout Florida to help address critical needs in our schools.

 “The increase in giving this year is impressive,” said Janice Kershaw, Executive Director of Brevard Schools Foundation.  “We really appreciate our partnership with Amscot and that they engage their customers on our behalf.”

 Brevard Schools Foundation is the non-profit direct support organization for Brevard Public Schools.  Funds raised through the Foundation support programs like Take Stock in Children, The Back to School Supply Safari, School Bucks mini-grants for teachers, scholarships for graduating seniors, Space Week, recognition events, and much more.  For more information on how your business can support education through Brevard Schools Foundation, call 321.633.1000 extension 756.
