CPS Investment Advisors doesn’t just work in Lakeland: They actively invest in our community.

Through CPS Cares, their team has helped support neighbors, nonprofits, and students for years, and 2025 has been one of their most impactful to date.

➡️ Showing up for local causes

Last month, CPS collected and donated hundreds of toiletries, towels, ponchos, deodorant, and pediatric coloring kits to local nonprofits Talbot House, Central Florida Healthcare, and Peace River Center’s Children’s Resiliency Center.

👕 Supporting schools + educators

CPS also expanded its school outreach with a district-wide winter uniform drive, and sent the Frozen Treats Truck to campuses to give teachers and staff a well-earned ice cream break.

🎻 Enriching student experiences

For a third straight year, CPS is covering transportation for every local 5th grader to attend a Lakeland Symphony Orchestra concert, helping to add a bit of holiday magic.
