FICPA Educational Foundation 1040K Run/Walk

21^st Annual FICPA Educational Foundation 1040K Run/Walk
Coconut Grove, Florida
Thursday, April 15, 2010

Proceeds benefit South Florida African-American accounting students for scholarships and endowment funds.

Since its inception in 1989, the FICPA 1040K Run/Walk in beautiful Coconut Grove, near downtown Miami, has attracted hundreds of runners each year for a great cause and a lot of fun. Event proceeds are awarded as scholarships to African-American accounting students in South Florida, in memory of Lewis Davis. Davis was Miami-Dade County’s first African-American CPA, a community leader and co-founder of the National Association of Black Accountants, Inc. Greater Miami-South Florida Chapter.

The application fee ($25 or less) provides access to all “after-race” festivities including free food, drinks, t-shirts, door-prizes and much more. This minimal fee benefits the FICPA Educational Foundation and the Minority Summer Residency Program. These programs award scholarships to some of the best and brightest minority accounting students in South Florida.

Grab your party hats and running shoes and plan to be in Coconut Grove on Thursday, April 15th!

About the Florida Institute of CPAs Educational Foundation, Inc.

The quality of tomorrow’s accountants is vitally important. When we recruit, we look for bright, well-educated individuals willing to dedicate themselves to the CPA profession. The financial burden of a college education has dramatically increased, especially with the necessary fifth year of education required before sitting for the CPA Exam.

The FICPA Educational Foundation works to ensure the integrity and success of the accounting profession in Florida. Founded in 1959 as the R. Warner Ring Educational Foundation, it has distributed more than $2 million dollars to colleges and accounting students across the state.
