But we get ahead of ourselves. Let’s back up a bit for our newcomers and make it all crystal clear for you, shall we?
What is a Florida Specialty Plate?
A Florida Specialty Plate is a license plate other than the standard tag given to vehicles that are newly registered in the state of Florida. These plates all sport a unique design and theme, of which there are over one hundred to choose from.
What kind of designs and themes are we talking about?
The motifs vary greatly and include just about everything under the sun. Some of the most popular tags are Endless Summer, Sea Turtles, Miami Heat, Florida State University, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Save the Manatee.
What’s so special about a Specialty Plate?
We’re glad you asked! A Specialty Plate – we like to say – is more than just a pretty face. Yes, you get to fly whatever flag you like when you choose a Specialty Plate – be it your favorite sports team, health awareness, environmental preservation, or supporting firefighters – you’re not just expressing interest or dedication to the topic you display on your vehicle.
You see, each tag is associated with a charity, an organization or foundation that backs a very worthy cause. The Specialty Plate itself is the face of this cause, and in purchasing a unique tag, you are, in turn, helping to sustain the people devoted to the cause.
Can you give an example of how the Specialty Plate supports a cause?
We’d love to. Take today’s theme: The U.S. Army Plate
If you were to opt for this plate, there’s a good chance you have a connection of some sort to the U.S. Army and therefore want to display this association on your car. But you’d be doing more than just showing an affinity for the Army. For every purchase of this particular tag, the proceeds (beyond what the DMV collects for registration costs) goes directly to the charity related to the Specialty Plate: The State Homes for Veterans Trust Fund.
In turn, the Fund uses the revenue collected from the sale of these tags to ensure services such as: construction, operation, and maintenance of both domiciliary and nursing homes for U.S. veterans.
So I’m supporting homes for veterans by buying a Specialty Plate?
Indeed you are! And it takes nothing more than choosing this design. Charity in its simplest and easiest form.
