Junior Achievement
One of the largest fundraising efforts MIDFLORIDA has annually is the Junior Achievement Bowl-A-Thon. The Bowl-A-Thon serves as one of the primary funding efforts for Junior Achievement which uses hands-on experiences to help young people understand the economics of life. The staff and members of MIDFLORIDA raise approximately $20,000 annually to help fund these on-going programs. As a business partner with Junior Achievement, the funds we raise and the volunteers we provide bring the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential.

Scholarships
Since beginning the MIDFLORIDA/Rebecca Keith Scholarship a few years ago, MIDFLORIDA has given more than $240,000 to students to fund college tuition. It is our belief that money invested into the youth is money well-invested in our communities. To learn more...

Extra Credit For Schools
Extra Credit For Schools began in 2005 and has taken off. Funds are raised for the school of the customer's choice by signing their MIDFLORIDA CheckPlus Debit Card up for a school. Each time a purchase is made with the card and the credit option selected, the school earns up to 10¢. The money is accrued and paid out each December. MIDFLORIDA anticipates paying more than $20,000 this year. Monies raised through this program can be used for any purpose the school feels is important. To learn more...
