We had the privilege of being a non-profit partner for the AT&T laptop give away in partnership with Gator Bowl Charities. We had six youth attend to receive laptops and another 19 at a future event. Gator Bowl Charities is the philanthropic arm of Gator Bowl Sports and the Jacksonville Sports Council, dedicated to improving lives and supporting youth development in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.

Kevin Craig, AT&T Regional Director - Corporate External & Legislative Affairs, "Today, 125 students go home with a laptop not as a giveaway, but as a vote of confidence." FSS agrees!

We're always looking to partner with local organizations to improve the lives of children. Want to partner with us? Check us out at: https://www.fssjax.org/
