YOU'RE INVITED!

​

Join us at the Denard Span Foundation’s 2026 Gala: An Evening of Connection. It is through meaningful connections that hope is restored, burdens are shared, and lives are changed. This year, the foundation is committed to building connections that strengthen single-parent families - connecting parents to resources, children to opportunities, families to communities, and every individual to a future filled with purpose and possibility.

 

We believe that no parent should walk alone. By fostering authentic relationships, creating supportive networks, and empowering families, we will cultivate a community where every family is seen, valued, and equipped to thrive. Together, we are creating connections that inspire resilience, build confidence, and transform generations.

DINNER IMPACT​

Transportation is more than a ride - it’s a connection. It connects a mother to employment and connects her child to school, sports, and enrichment activities. By attending our Evening of Connection, you’re fueling someone’s future.

 

All proceeds from the gala will directly support the Denard Span Foundation’s mission to assist single-parent families via the DSF Transportation Program. Our goal is to amplify our positive impact in the Tampa Bay community and provide essential support to those who need it most.
