TAMPA, FLORIDA

The PEPIN FAMILY FOUNDATION, INC., founded as part of the broader philanthropic efforts associated with Pepin Distributing Company, is a Tampa-based nonprofit organization dedicated to making a significant positive impact on community children and families through education and healthcare. Incorporated on June 14, 2004, under Florida state law (Filed Number: N04000005902), the Foundation operates from its office at 12191 W Linebaugh Ave Box 788, Tampa, FL, which is situated in Hillsborough County. This organization leverages partnerships with local colleges, universities, healthcare institutions, and social services to serve those most vulnerable, specifically aiming its resources toward the educational needs of at-risk children and young adults through its Pepin Academies. With a firm commitment to eradicating heart disease, the PEPIN FAMILY FOUNDATION channels efforts into groundbreaking patient-centered care provided by the Florida Hospital Pepin Heart Institute. This initiative is fueled in part by prior substantial contributions from founder Tom Pepin, who played a pivotal role in establishing this institute with a significant financial pledge to the University Community Hospital Foundation’s campaign to create the Pepin Heart & Vascular Institute. Beyond healthcare and education, the foundation extends its support through initiatives like TPepin's Hospitality Centre, designed by Thomas A. Pepin to facilitate community charitable events and increase funding for various causes. In addition to this, it contributes product donations and collaborates with Anheuser-Busch on responsible drinking campaigns, showcasing a multifaceted approach to bettering community health and well-being. Pepin Distributing Company remains committed as Tampa’s premier total beverage distributor, providing an extensive range of products from renowned brands like Anheuser-Busch and Crown Imports.
