MIAMI GARDENS, FL –Amscot is set to celebrate Family Fun Day at its Miami Gardens branch at 19839 NW 2nd Avenue on Saturday, March 10th from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Once again, Amscot will be donating $3,000 to The Mayor’s Annual Laptop Giveaway as part of the Family Fun Day celebration.
The Mayor’s Annual Laptop Giveaway rewards 500 college-bound seniors from Miami Carol City Senior High, Miami Norland Senior High and Miami Northwestern Senior High with new laptops. The giveaways take place during the school’s end-of-year award ceremony where recipients are selected by counselors and teachers from each school.
“Many of our associates call Miami home. So we’re not just helping a community, we’re helping neighbors,” says Ian MacKechnie, Founder and CEO of Amscot Financial.
In addition to supporting The Mayor’s Annual Laptop Giveaway, the event will also offer an array of activities for families. There will be opportunities to win Jazz in the Gardens tickets throughout the event and free refreshments and lunch will be provided. Bike helmets will be given to the first 100 kids to arrive and there will be radio station giveaways from 99 JAMZ as they broadcast live from Amscot’s parking lot. An Amscot recruiter will be on hand to talk about the many exciting career opportunities available with Amscot.
The Child Rescue Network will be on hand for a free kid’s fingerprinting program. Their Safety ID Program will weigh and measure kids, take a thumbprint and photograph and give parents a laminated Safety ID Card to put in their wallets. These valuable tools save lives and can help quickly reunite a lost child with his family.
