www.504Experts.com It’s officially been one year since the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act was passed into law. While some good has come from it, there are a few things that have been pretty ineffective so far. The two things that frustrate Chris Hurn, the SBA 504 Loan Expert, the most are the First Mortgage Lien Pool (FMLP) Program and the SBA 504 Loan Refi Program. You probably know that at Mercantile Capital Corporation we are not proponents of “big government” and increased regulations, but these two programs could be extremely effective when it comes to helping small business owners and the US economy. Plus, they have to do with the SBA 504 loan program which is a zero-subsidy program — it’s funded by borrower fees, not subsidized by the government. Right now, both the FMLP and the 504 Refi Programs are in need of our help. Watch this video to find out what needs to be done to make these programs more effective, and what we’d like YOU to do to help.

Phix & TSIC

Hollywood, Florida (PRWEB) November 03, 2011

Phix, an all-natural energy drink company, has become one of the proud supporters of Take Stock in Children(TSIC) to help raise awareness and funds for Florida’s low-income and at-risk youths who deserve higher education.

“Florida has one of the lowest high school graduation rates in the country. Less than 5 out of 10 children will graduate from high school this year,” said Doug Brown, President of Phix, “Take Stock in Children is a sustainable and successful program that has helped numerous kids to graduate and pursue higher education. I feel proud and honored that Phix is able to be involved in this great cause to help our future generations, and this has always been an important part of Phix’s corporate culture.”

TSIC provides low-income children with volunteer mentors, case management and social services from middle to high school. If the students graduate the program, they are provided a college scholarship as well as transition services to improve their chances of success in college. Since 1995, TSIC has granted $ 109 million in college scholarships to over 16,000 at-risk children and managed to achieve a graduation rate as high as 92%.

On November 19, TSIC’s “Strides For Education” 5K Walk/Runs will take place across Florida to benefit local programs. Phix will also join this statewide effort with its Miami-Dade Chapter to help raise awareness and funds. “Strides For Education is a great opportunity to engage the whole community in the support of at-risk and deserving children. It’s more than just a walk, its an investment in our country’s future,” said Brown.

The event will be held at Miami Dade College-Kendall Campus at 7:30 am on Sat, Nov 19th, and open to all individuals, families, companies and local organizations, featuring family-friendly activities, giveaways, and much more. Registration is $ 35 per person and is discountable for students with the promo code “graduate”. All proceeds will go to benefit the Take Stock in Children fund. Phix will be on-site to hand out free samples. For more information, please call 305.237.3855 or visit give.takestockinchildren.org.
