Southern Wine and Spirits, America has just announced the participation and pledged support of the Florida tax Credit Scholarship Program. This is a very admirable gesture on behalf of this fine spirits industry company. It makes me proud to be a part of an industry that is still helping out others in a slow economy
"Southern Wines &
Spirits of America pledged $25 million to help schools by donating to Step Up
For Students this year.
The Miami-based company,
the second-largest private company in South Florida, is supporting the
nonprofit through the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program.
On Friday, Southern Wine
& Spirits President and COO Wayne E. Chaplin visited Yeshiva Elementary
School in Miami Beach to honor award-winning teacher Dana Sostchin.
"Through our support
of Step Up For Students scholarships, our company has helped more than 13,000
students attend schools like Yeshiva Elementary," he said.
It is the caring for the people of our communities that makes this country strong, and I think that it is a great thing that Southern Wine and Spirits has done by making the donations to this program. ;o) '
