Tampa Man Hopes To Raise Money For Education
This effort was spawned from the idea of building the future by educating our youth. The primary empha- sis would be to target under- served youth from lower socio-economic back- grounds.
Martin knew that this demographic is often over-
looked and require addi- tional support and resources. Martin states “These youth deserve a chance to succeed, and they need re- source throughout their schooling to reach gradua-
tion.”
Martin hopes his organ-
ization will help bridge the
gap for this population of students. He formed the 501c3 organization to serve a need that he saw in this com- munity.
“We are helping our youth and provide support for the leaders of tomorrow.” Martin states.
The Silent Auction starts
on Friday, June 24, 2022, at 7p.m.to10p.m.at Westchase Golf Clubhouse.
The golf tournament be- gins at 7 a.m. with a conti- nental breakfast. There will be an 8:30 shotgun start.
Tickets are $85 before the event and $95 on the day of the tournament.
