We hope this blog post finds you in great spirits. We’re thrilled to share some heartwarming updates and exciting opportunities for you to join us in making a positive impact on the community. Your generosity and support have been instrumental in our recent success with Toys for Tots, and we can’t wait to embark on new journeys of giving together.
Clothing Drive for Clothes to Kids: A Fashionable Act of Kindness
As the chill of winter persists, so does our commitment to spreading warmth and compassion. Our St. Pete offices are now hubs for your clothing donations, turning them into beacons of hope for those in need. Here are some items that we’re accepting as donations:
- Kids clothes (size 4-16)
- Adult clothes (pre-teen and teens)
- Shoes (children’s size 9-adult)
- Bras, belts, purses, hats, jewelry, backpacks
- NEW socks and underwear
We’re excited to announce that the results of your contributions to Toys for Tots in December surpassed our highest expectations! Not only did we extend assistance to more children, but the toy collection also significantly exceeded the quantities from previous years. In total, Toys for Tots managed to handle approximately 18,000 more toys compared to the previous year.
Oral Cancer Awareness 5K Walk: A Walk for a Cause
As we stride into February, join us for a refreshing walk on the sandy shores of Sand Key Park’s Beach Pavilion on February 17, 2024. Our Oral Cancer Awareness 5K Walk is not just an event; it’s an opportunity to be a part of something bigger. With every step you take, you contribute to raising awareness and supporting those bravely battling oral cancer.
Mark your calendars for this heartwarming event, starting at 9:00 AM. Walk along the beach, immerse yourself in the festivities, and be inspired by the tales of resilience from our courageous patients. For those unable to join physically, your contributions matter. Whether through donations, volunteering, or sponsorship, your involvement makes a significant impact.
