TAMPA, Florida, 8 de octubre de 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Amscot Financial, un proveedor líder de servicios financieros orientados al consumidor, donará y distribuirá 12,788  cascos gratis para ciclistas el sábado, 18 de octubre, en los l6 condados de la Florida en los que opera sucursales.

Los cascos están disponibles en tres tamaños: pequeño, mediano y grande, y están dirigidos a niños en escuela preescolar y escuela primaria. Los cascos serán distribuidos de 9 a.m. a 12 del mediodía por gerentes de Amscot Financial y autoridades judiciales y policiales, en los estacionamientos de los locales que se indican a continuación. Estos locales incluyen cuatro sucursales en el condado Miami-Dade y dos en el condado de Broward, lo cual refleja la reciente expansión de Amscot hacia el Sur de la Florida.

Según la Administración Nacional de Seguridad de Tráfico en Carreteras, la Florida es el estado con más muertes relacionadas con el ciclismo. En el 2011, el año que presenta las estadísticas más recientes, se registraron 125 muertes relacionadas con el ciclismo en la Florida.1 Un estudio médico indicó que el 79 porciento de todos los pacientes de accidentes relacionados con el ciclismo tenían entre 5 y 14 años de edad.2 Por otra parte, los estudios indican que el uso de los cascos, cuando se utilizan debidamente, pueden reducir lesiones a la cabeza por un 88 por ciento.3

Esto marca el doceabo año en que Amscot Financial ha donado y distribuido cascos gratis para ciclistas en los condados en los que participa comercialmente.

"Los cascos para ciclistas salvan vidas. Eso lo sabemos. Hemos tenido clientes que han venido a decirnos cómo el casco fue un instrumento fundamental para prevenir que sus hijos sufrieran una lesión grave," dijo Ian MacKechnie, fundador y CEO de Amscot Financial. "Esa es una gran razón por la cual nos comprometemos a este  programa de cascos para ciclistas año tras año. Queremos asegurar que los niños que viven en nuestras comunidades tengan acceso a un casco a su medida."

Amscot Financial fue fundada en 1989, y emplea a más de 2,000 asociados que trabajan en más de 200 sucursales y en la sede corporativa de la compañía en Tampa. La compañía actualmente opera sucursales en los condados de Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Polk, Hardee, Highlands, Manatee, Sarasota, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake, Volusia, Brevard, Marion, Citrus, Flagler, Broward y Miami-Dade.
