Project LINK & Integrale Advisors Announce Attendance & Non Tardy Rewards Contest for studen
Project LINK in partnership with Integrale Advisors announces an Attendance & Non Tardy
Rewards Contest for students at Broward Elementary School in Tampa. The project provides
sponsors with the opportunity to support several classroom celebrations for students with the
best attendance and behavioral reports. Students with the most outstanding reports will be
placed in a drawing for a free bicycle and helmet.
Keith Knutsson, Chair, Community Advisory Board of Project LINK and President of Integrale
Advisors, has partnered with Tina Young, the Executive Director of Project LINK. “I’m excited to
be part of this program to help disadvantaged children succeed at school. These children need a
little encouragement and this project makes them better understand the importance of
discipline and success in life by encouraging them to attend class every day. Some of these
children have actually never owned their own bike.”
Project LINK is looking for assistance in securing 12 bikes and helmets donated by March 30,
2017 and another 12 bicycles and safety helmets by May 15, 2017. Tina Young: “We would like
to have our first classroom celebration and bike give-away by the end of March 2017. Our goal
is to give up to 12 bikes and helmets during the last two grading periods left in school. The
estimated cost for securing the bikes and helmets is $1,000 with an additional $500 for 10
classroom celebrations.”
Every bike donation counts. With a cost of $100 per bike/helmet, sponsors can donate directly
to the Project Link website. Every contribution matters and helps a child. Company sponsors
will be able to place their logo on the website of Project LINK and individual sponsors can
partake in the celebration at the school. Help a child attend school and potentially owe their
very first bike.
