A Fun-Packed Event for a Great Cause: Aligned CPA’s Sponsorship of the FGC Foundation Walk
At Aligned CPA, we believe in supporting our community in ways that are both meaningful and fun. That’s why we were thrilled to sponsor the .4ishK Walk—a lighthearted take on the traditional 5K run, with an easygoing route that started at our office and ended at Halpatter Brewing Company.
While the walk itself was short, the impact was anything but! The event was organized by the Foundation for Florida Gateway College (FGC Foundation) to help provide scholarships and financial assistance to students in need.
An Experience to Remember
We had the honor of setting up the registration tent alongside FGC Foundation and making sure the event was packed with energy and entertainment. Aligned CPA provided a variety of refreshments and activities, including:
- Drinks & water
- Cookies & sweet treats
- Bubbles & sidewalk chalk
- Fun games for all ages
- An inflatable bouncy house for kids
But the experience didn’t stop there! Along the walk, participants enjoyed a progressive sampling of local flavors at three themed tents:
1️⃣ Xapa Coffee – Serving up fresh coffee, matcha, and an energizing Red Bull drink.
2️⃣ Jessica’s Bistro & 321 Venue – Offering two delicious food options.
3️⃣ Brittany’s Cupcakes – Handing out mini cupcakes to fuel the final stretch.
The last stop? Halpatter Brewing Company, where every participant received a ticket for a complimentary locally brewed beer—because nothing says “victory” quite like a cold one!
Why We Sponsored
At Aligned CPA, we know that education changes lives. By supporting the FGC Foundation, we are investing in students who are working hard to achieve their goals, often overcoming financial and personal hurdles along the way. Every scholarship awarded through the Foundation makes a difference, and we’re proud to play a part in that mission.
If you’d like to contribute and help provide more opportunities for students, you can donate to the FGC Foundation here.
Thank You to Everyone Who Participated!
We’re beyond grateful to everyone who joined in the fun, walked the .4K, and supported this fantastic cause. Whether you stopped by for a cup of coffee, grabbed a mini cupcake, or simply cheered others on, you helped make a real impact on students striving for a better future.
We can’t wait for next year’s event—see you at the starting line (or maybe at the brewery)!
