PRESS RELEASE: A Look At Our Future

Written by All Sports Community Services - Monday, 09 April 2007

Sean Farrell, the new Managing Director for the Merrill Lynch Tampa Complex, presented the 2007 Success In Education Award to Tyrone Keys during a community event on March 15 at Higgins Hall. The inaugural event, titled Success In Education: A Look At Our Future, gave local universities an opportunity to showcase themselves to the business community, alumni associations and honor roll students from Hillsborough, Pasco and Polk counties. A representative from Saint Leo University, the University of Tampa and the University of South Florida spoke about The Year 2010, and the advantages of staying in Tampa for their college education as well as their careers.

Merrill Lynch plans to annually recognize an individual for his or her contributions to helping kids recognize the importance of higher learning. Mr. Keys earned the award because he truly believes each generation bears the responsibility to pass its knowledge, skills and wisdom on to the next. He has helped more than 600 kids reach college, and has raised more than $20 million for All Sports Community Service where he serves as its executive director.

Mayor Pam Iorio gave the opening remarks for the event, and encouraged the community to work together to inform our kids of the opportunities in Tampa.
