SoHo Sushi supports the Kids!

We were touched by the stories of some of the children involved with AMIkids.  The AMIkids Golf Classic was an opportunity for us to help raise funds for these children in need.

AMIkids is a national non-profit organization dedicated to providing a promising future to troubled youth who have been adjudicated or have failed in conventional school settings.

Since 1969, AMIkids has partnered with local communities to help more than 100,000 misguided youth develop into responsible and productive citizens. AMIkids operates 55 in seven states focusing on family values, education, character building and experiential learning.

“The Children’s Home is a child- and family-centered organization that is positioned to care for struggling families and children seeking the comfort of a loving family. With roots that can be traced back to 1892, we have been a beacon in the community—providing a safe haven for children who have suffered abuse, neglect or abandonment. The tradition of love sparked by our founders continues to be our driving force to protect, heal and care for Tampa Bay’s children and families.  We believe children deserve the opportunity to have a happy childhood.  We believe families deserve a chance to be successful.  These values are the essence of our mission to create a community where children and families feel loved, nurtured, and safe.Children need love.  Families need security.  That’s why we are charged with being the source of strength and opportunity for children and families.  Through our nationally recognized residential treatment program to our Family Support and Resource Centers, we have impacted the lives of many who rely on support and care during times of uncertainty.Over the years, we have helped more than 6,000 children realize their dream of a family, and we have cared for more than 25,000 children in the community.The Children’s Home is a local 501 (C)(3) not-for-profit organization serving the Central Florida region. ” (www.childrenshome.org)

We are honored to continue to support such a noble cause.  Starting in 2008, SoHo Sushi began our Thanksgiving | Christmas Giving Back campaign to support various charities.  In 2010, we teamed up with The Children’s Home.  After raising over $550 in our first year, we took an opportunity to buy and collect enough toys to supply 15 – 20 children with Holiday Gifts.  This organization is filled to the brim with kindness and positive energy, we’ve decided to make The Children’s Home a sponsoring partner with Soho Sushi on an annual basis.  We hope you’ll take part in our annual Holiday Campaign For The Kids, each November & December.

SoHo Sushi is proud to help support the American Cancer Society through our “Florida’s For A Cure” Campaign.  Sporting pink shirts, our staff sets out on an annual mission to raise funds to fight Breast Cancer. $1 from every Florida Roll we sell goes towards this amazing foundation.  We’re honored to support this great cause and we’re thrilled to have our customers’ support!
