ORLANDO FL – Amscot Financial has stepped forward as a $10,000 Sponsor in an upcoming dinner benefiting 100 Black Men of America’s Orlando Chapter. The dinner is part of the chapter’s “Project Success Program,” which will provide scholarships to African American high school students graduating in 2016.
