EDWARDS FAMILY FOUNDATION, INC.
ST PETERSBURG, FLORIDA

Since our first annual Christmas event in 2002, the Edwards Family Foundation has continually hosted the largest annual holiday event in Tampa Bay serving hundreds of disadvantaged families. Our impact has been enormous and with the help of many incredibly generous contributors we have launched what has become one of the most meaningful children’s holiday events in this community. The Edwards Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) and could not fulfill its goals without the help of many outstanding contributors. From our sponsors to our volunteers, the Foundation greatly appreciates the generosity of the people who support our mission. Each year the Edwards Family Foundation embraces the true meaning of Christmas. Our program provides a traditional Christmas experience to over 300 underserved families which includes more than 700 children each year. A local gymnasium facility is decked out with holiday décor and is the backdrop for our celebration. This memorable event hosts lunch for all in attendance, a visit and photo opportunity with Santa Claus, celebrity sports figures including Pete the Pelican and local beauty queens. Hundreds and hundreds of toys are on display for the taking, with games and inflatables onsite to be enjoyed by all. In addition, each family in attendance receives all the fixings for a complete holiday dinner. This extraordinary effort is the result of a powerful, dedicated team of donors and volunteers who come together to deliver hope and happiness at Christmas and beyond. Please join us by lending your support this holiday season to help those in need most!
