It's not uncommon for commercial businesses to use their fleet vehicles as rolling billboards, but one local businessman is using his fleet to promote a good cause.

With 40 trucks on the road practically daily, Brad Giles and his company, Giles Electric, are broadcasting their commitment to FUTURES Foundation for Volusia County Schools through special license tags and bumper stickers on every vehicle in their fleet.

Each purchase of a License for Learning tag delivers $20 directly to the FUTURES Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports the Volusia County School District. Jay Sempsrott, Giles Electric safety director and fleet purchasing agent, coordinated the effort to convert all of the company's fleet vehicle tags this year, an investment of more than $8,000 by the residential and commercial electric services company.

As a longtime local businessman, and the son of company founder Art Giles, Brad understands the value of investing in public education and in supporting his local community and the 40 Licenses for Learning are only a small part of his contributions to FUTURES and Volusia County at large. Brad, a Volusia County Schools graduate, knows how important great educational opportunities are to a vibrant business community. He has served on FUTURES' board of directors since 2006 and is the chairman of the organization's annual Futures Bowl-A-Thon fundraiser.

Brad and his wife, LeighAnn, a former Volusia County schoolteacher, also support the local school system as parents. Their daughter, Laken, 10, and son, Harper, 9, both attend Tomoka Elementary School in Ormond Beach.

Giles Electric has been recognized as a local business leader since it began in 1970, and it remains one of the only commercial and residential electrical services in the area that does low-voltage work connected with whole-house audio, alarm systems and other such devices. The company has been voted No. 1 in electrical service for the last 16 years in The Daytona Beach News-Journal's Readers Choice Awards.

Anyone who purchases the same tag Giles Electric uses on its fleet donates $20 to local public schools for classroom mini-grants, dropout prevention programs, student and staff recognition activities, staff recruitment efforts, scholarship programs, leadership activities and community involvement programs. The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles also offers License for Learning gift certificates, allowing purchasers to give the tag as a gift. The gift certificates are available at any authorized motor vehicle office (state DMV office, local tax collector's office or license tag agent). Visit license4learning.com for more information.
