Pinellas Education Foundation Annual Breakfast

Pratt Brown and Associates had the privilege of attending the Pinellas Education Foundation's Annual Breakfast on Wednesday March 24Th. Representatives from PB&A learned about the Frances Louise Stavros Scholarship. This scholarship was started by Dr. Gus A. Stavros in honor of his wife. Scholarships aren't the only thing the Stavros family gives back to the community, they also have a facility called "The Stravos Institute". Dr Stavros has donated over a million dollars to this fine learning institution. This facility gives fifth,eighth,and high school students the opportunity to be in the workforce for a day. There are multiple businesses, restaurants and even a radio station that the students work in. They budget for a car,balance their check book, and get a great lunch.We would also like to congratulate Cindy Brown CEO of Pratt Brown & Associates on her wonderful presentation in front of one-hundred plus attendees.
