Our Mission

Financially assisting and awarding the youth of Tampa Bay

We have several areas of interest with regards to helping our community.

Founded in 2014, Helping Hands of Tampa Bay Foundation, Inc. is a Florida 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We were set up and organized with the hope of financially assisting and awarding the youth in Tampa Bay, FL — assisting the youths, organizations, or schools facing hardships, and awarding the young people who excel in academics, sports or extra-curricular activities, who go above and beyond in their communities, or who are studying abroad.

Organizations in need

We reach out to organizations in need, such as schools that need books or supplies, so that no student’s learning is limited by a lack of resources.

Youth athletes who excel

We recognize and award youth athletes who have demonstrated both academic and sports achievements at the highest levels — including through our signature Thirty Three over Three “33/3” Award.
