The Edwards Family Foundation was formed in 2001 with the sole intention of providing holiday joy to the less fortunate children in the local St. Petersburg area each December.

The Edwards Family Foundation has helped hundreds of local families from various local elementary and middle schools, Boys & Girls Club of the Suncoast, Family Resources, James B. Sanderlin Family Center, Police Athletic League, Foster Care, NAACP and many others organizations who have attended the Foundation’s Christmas Gala Celebrations.  Because of the generosity of the CEO of this Foundation, Bill Edwards and a lengthy list of generous contributors both near and far, the Foundation was able to donate the following since its inception:

2003

• 850 bicycles with helmets
• 600 complete food baskets
• Hundreds of new toys and clothing items

The Edwards Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, which depends upon the generosity of our community. And just as we did last year, we would like to help over 500 families in need at this year’s Christmas Gala Celebration.

To ensure our continued success in helping the less fortunate in the St. Petersburg area please make a difference in a child’s life and show your support for this worthy cause by sending your tax-deductible monetary donation today. WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW!

The Foundation greatly appreciates your kindness.
