Tampa Bay’s philanthropic and business leaders come together each year at our Bridge Builders event to create collective impact. Funds raised will empower children and teens experiencing homelessness with counseling, resiliency-building, therapeutic care, and education.
Bridge Builders is more than a luncheon event. It’s a chance to help young people in our care at Metropolitan Ministries find stability, confidence, and hope to dream again. These kids are full of potential. They just need someone to believe in them and give them a fair shot at a brighter future.
This year, we’re honored to welcome John C. Maxwell, one of the world’s foremost leadership experts, as we explore how leadership, when shared, changes lives and futures. You’ll also hear from our new CEO, Dr. Sarah Combs, as she shares her vision for what’s ahead.
