The HopeWill Foundation was founded in 2011 by friends rallying around Will Wellman following his diagnosis with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a rare kidney disease. Building on the success of the Tampa Pig Jig, the Foundation is committed to expanding its philanthropic impact throughout the Tampa Bay community.
