Every year in December, the chapter hosts a special Christmas luncheon to benefit the kids at the Hope Children's Home (https://www.hopechildrenshome.org/). This organization has existed in Tampa Bay since 1968 and has cared for more than 5,000 abandoned, abused, neglected and orphaned children from newborn to 18 years old. Chapter members look forward to this event each year as they have the opportunity to be "Secret Santas" for the children and surprise them with gifts that they might not be able to receive otherwise. It was a great afternoon filled with networking and a lot of Christmas spirit!
