TampaBay sure did turn out today for this great organization.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tampa Bay
is doing amazing things for our kids.
Here are the numbers.
They help 24,000 students each year!
They cover three main counties.
Today more than 500 people turned out for the great future’s breakfast.
They raised a whopping $1.2 million!
Happy to work with this great organization.
Today’s Keynote speakers included entertainer, producer, Mario Lopez. It also included Fuente cigar chair, Carlito Fuente. Both men reflected on their days as young men in girls and boys clubs in their areas.
The conversations were raw in real and great perspective on a community coming together.
Happy to be invited to sit at Brooke Mirenda‘s table.
My pleasure covering the Prest conference for local media. Nice to meet Mario Lopez.

Led by CEO, Freddy Williams and his amazing staff the impact the community is getting from the work is quite remarkable. And next year they celebrate 100 years!!!
