Tampa, FL – Amscot Financial has been a long-time supporter of the Salvation Army’s Tree of Lights Breakfast. This year marks the 16th consecutive year Amscot has returned to support the event, which will be held on the morning of November 11th at the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina in Downtown Tampa.
“It’s truly an honor for all of us at Amscot to support The Salvation Army and to continue to celebrate their positive impact within the community,” said Ian MacKechnie, Amscot’s founder, chairman and CEO. “Their programs have transformed countless lives here in the Bay Area and they’ll no doubt transform countless more.”
