The most valuable gift is often a name.
Know a business owner, civic group, or school that should hear about the foundation? A warm introduction opens doors that no email can. Tell us who, and we will take it from there.
Connect usStudios, leagues, teachers, and programs.
Our students land somewhere: a dance studio, a sports league, a music teacher, a youth program. If you run one in Alachua, Lake, Marion, Monroe, or Sumter County, we would like to meet you.
Introduce your programTell us how you would like to help.
Events run on volunteers: setup, check-in, hosting, and the dozens of small jobs that make an evening go well. Share a few details and we will follow up when there is an opportunity that fits.

Someone once showed up for a child. Today, that someone can be you.
