Amscot Financial provided 100 bike helmets for the bike rodeo, sponsored by the Largo Police Department. Bike helmets were required for all students that participated in the obstacle course during the bike rodeo, which started at 10:00 a.m. Amscot's helmet donation made it possible for each child to have a helmet and learn the importance of bike safety.
