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:

Our impact has been enormous and, with the help of many incredibly generous contributors, we have launched what has become one of the most meaningful childrens holiday events in this community.
The Edwards Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, which depends upon the generosity of our community. Just as we did last year, we would like to help families in need at this years Christmas Gala Celebration.
To help offset the cost of the hundreds of new bicycles, toys and food items needed for distribution at this years event, we look to our community for help.
Your support is essential!
Help us continue this much anticipated event and bring laughter,
hope & joy to the children of Tampa Bay.
The Foundation greatly appreciates your kindness.
William Edwards
CEO
