With the holidays just days away, we wanted to take a moment to thank our community for its support in 2022. Whether you participated in one of our committee meetings, got a bit sweaty at a Give-A-Day, applied for a grant, or simply opened one of our newsletters, your involvement with our Program has helped to amplify our work and extend its impact. We’re excited to hit the ground running in 2023, and to continue providing opportunities for folks to involve themselves in the restoration, protection, and enjoyment of Tampa Bay.

We hope you find some time over the holidays to slow down, #GetOutside, and enjoy the company of family and friends. We’ll see you in 2023!

Best Wishes,
Ed, Maya, Marcus, Joe, Sheila, Jessica, Kerry, and Steff
