Amscot Financial Contributes to Brevard County's Boys & Girls Club, Supporting Programs for At-Risk Youth

MELBOURNE, Fla., March 13 PRNewswire — Amscot Financial, a leading provider of convenient, consumer-oriented financial services, invites all to come out and have fun "the Amscot way" at its open house on Saturday, March 15, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 1400 W. New Haven Avenue in Melbourne. Amscot will present a $500 contribution to the Brevard County chapter of the Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida, supporting after-school programs for at- risk youth.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida makes a positive difference in the community by providing at-risk children with a safe place to learn and grow. The clubs also offer character development experiences as well as ongoing relationships with caring adults. Studies show that the clubs' programs make a positive impact by lowering crime, drug use, teen pregnancy and gang involvement.

During the Amscot open house event, children's entertainment will be provided. Radio station WAOA, 107.1 will broadcast live from Amscot's parking lot and give away prizes. Free refreshments also will be provided.

At the Amscot grand opening, the Child Protection Education of America, Inc. (CPEA), a national nonprofit organization for missing children based in Tampa, will also be available on site to provide free fingerprinting for children through their "ID ME NOW" program.

The program produces a state-of-the-art, specially designed card for parents to keep. The card contains a set of the child's digital fingerprints, a black and white photo, a dental chart, and instructions on how to do a simple DNA collection. Safety brochures are provided with the fingerprint card, as well as an envelope containing further information on how to complete the child safety kit.

This information can assist parents and law enforcement officers involved with a missing child case. An interactive child safety CD-ROM can also be purchased for $5 at the event with profits going to the CPEA for creating the CD-ROM.
