2024-25 Tampa Bay Charity Register: A Letter from Jack Gordon

I am once again honored to serve as Executive Sponsor for the annual Tampa Bay Charity Register published by Tampa Magazines. 

The power of any city comes from its people. And we are no exception. With three major sports teams, some of the best hospitals in the country and top beaches in the United States, Champa Bay continues to put itself on the map. However, we are also put on the map by our challenges. Hurricanes Helene and Milton devastated many homes and took several lives in the process. For those of us who have woken up from this as just another passing storm, we shall count our blessings. And for those who can offer assistance, let us be mindful we live in one of the most resilient, giving and community-focused cities in the country.  

Here in Tampa Bay, we are fortunate to live and work within a population of so many intelligent, principled and socio-economically sophisticated men and women who continue to make this great community the location of their respective residences and professional careers. And if the greatness of any community is truly measured by its willingness to identify and assist those in need (whether people, animals, environmental entities, etc.), then let each of us commit to making ours even greater by contributing to our many great local nonprofit organizations. Each listing within this register provides information about the nonprofit organization and how you can contribute, make donations or support upcoming events.  

This year, Power Forward is my charity of choice. It’s a nonprofit entity focused in the northeast with ambitions of expanding to the Tampa Bay area. I encourage you to read more about this organization and all the other wonderful charities referenced in this issue. Together, we are building a stronger Tampa Bay. It is my pleasure to present the 2024-25 Tampa Magazines Charity Register beginning on the following page.
