Shoes: Elevating ALL Children 5K Walk/Run and Health Fair, to be held

This event promotes healthy living for families and children in the

children and families.
WHO WE ARE: Jack and Jill of America is a national non-profit
organization of mothers who nurture future African-American leaders
ages 2-19. A part of the organization’s mission is to focus on
educational programming, community service, legislative advocacy, and
philanthropic giving. Locally, for more than 30 years, the Greater
Tampa Chapter (GTC) of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. has been
committed to making a difference in the lives of all children.
By partnering with the Tampa Bay community, GTC provides enriching
educational, cultural, and signature programming focused on children.

annual Christmas Blessings program, Ada T. Payne Library Foundation on
