BACK- Take Stock in Children is a non-profit organization committed to providing GROUND scholarships, mentors, and hope to Florida's underprivileged youth. The program offers a comprehensive plan of success for low-income children-they must sign a contract promising to stay in school, maintain good grades, and meet once a week with a trained, dedicated mentor. In turn, Take Stock in Children provides each student with a tuition scholarship to college or vocational school. A solution to overcoming child poverty, academic failure, and youth crime, Take Stock in Children is an award-winning, statewide program that currently serves more than 13,500 Florida students and graduates. The Florida Lottery and Outback Steakhouse are sponsors of the Take Stock in Children Rally in Tally.
