We are thrilled to announce that this year’s beneficiary will be a local Tampa Non-Profit, Redefining Refuge. This very worthy Cause is hard at work daily in our Community fighting the injustice of Child Trafficking ** Please note that this subject will at no time be broached during the event, but information will be privately and readily available to you as a parent upon request. We; along with our Partner organization believe that empowering young girls now, and strengthening families is one of the best ways to prevent children from becoming potentially vulnerable victims in the future.

We look so forward to hosting you and your little ones and sharing in some fun and empowering activities to build self-confidence, self-worth and strong character!
