Got A Kid? The $450 Check Is In The Mail. Almost. Close to 60,000 Florida Families will get help paying for everything from scho9l supplies, food, clothing and more from the state to help battle these inflation costs. The Governor's Press Secretary sent out a tweet letting folks know the letters going out to families are indeed, real.
Families can expect one time check payments. They will be $450 per child from Hope Florida, administered by DCF. Only thing we don't know yet, Who will qualify? So, you need to wait on the letter, we guess? The State of Florida has peeled off $35.5 Million bucks for the program. Reminds us of the stimulus checks. But, the the state is not calling them stimulus checks, pointing out they are not "printing money" but using funds already set up for family programs.

It's back and better than ever. This year Kids Day is on Sunday, July 24 at Raymond James Stadium from 11a-4p and we've added a bunch of fun activities to make this the best day ever. Tickets are $10 for adults and kids 13 and up, which means children 12 and under get in free! Parking is $5 and will only accept credit cards. Over the years, Tampa Bay kids have been able to meet their favorite Disney characters and Marvel superheroes, play street hockey with all the Tampa Bay sports mascots, and participate in interactive exhibits that are fun and educational.
This year kids can participate in a treasure hunt around the stadium! The winner will receive tickets to ADVENTURE ISLAND. Also, if families bring in school supplies to donate to Children's Home Tampa Bay, they will be entered to win a brand new bike from Walmart. Families can get a head start on creating new Christmas cards with free photos with Santa! And don't forget to end the day without getting a new family photo with our free photo booth courtesy of GTE Financial.
