This year, Amscot Financial was a corporate sponsor for the 4th Annual Black History Month Celebration Banquet and Gala held on February 18, 2006 at the Rosen Center Hotel in Orlando, FL. The Keynote Speaker was Judge Greg Mathis who is the youngest judge ever elected in Michigan and is currently the star of Warner Brothers “The Judge Mathis Show.” The corporate sponsorship provides funds for Valencia Community College and the University of Central Florida. The banquet also inspired foster youth that attended from the Great Oaks Village.
A great time was had by all.
