During the month of May, the Pasco County Tax Collector’s Office featured Lauren’s Kids, a statewide organization that works daily to prevent childhood sexual abuse through education and awareness.
Lauren’s Kids was created in 2007 by State Senator Lauren Book, herself a victim of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of a trusted caregiver. Senator Book has taken her own experiences and turned them into an opportunity to help children find hope and healing.
The five branch offices of the Pasco County Tax Collector’s Office promoted the Lauren’s Kids specialty license plate and the Lauren’s Kids voluntary charitable donation check-off throughout the month of May.
Additionally, cash donations were accepted at each office as well. The value of 73 specialty tags sold and cash donations collected equals $12,346.48.
For details about this or any of the charitable promotions sponsored by the Pasco County Tax Collector’s Office please call Greg Giordano, Assistant Tax Collector at 727-847-8179 or visit www.pascotaxes.com.
