Every Hit is a Win: Meet the May and June Nonprofits
May 10, 2023
As the official financial partner of the Tampa Bay Rays, we’ve always cheered on the team… and that excitement has officially been taken up a notch! Our new Every Hit is a Win with Suncoast Credit Union program means that every time the Rays get a hit, we donate $78.
Those donations can raise up to $15,000 a month, to be split between three local nonprofit organizations. Head to our Facebook page to vote each month and your votes will determine what percent of the pot they receive!
Get to know the nonprofits we’re supporting in May and June below, then head over to our Facebook page when you’re ready to vote!

Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida
The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.
More than 11,100 children between the ages of 6 and 18 benefit from a safe and caring atmosphere thanks to this program. They receive academic support, extracurricular opportunities, and positive adult role models.

HEAVENDROPt
HEAVENDROPt is an organization that supplies meaningful work to people with disabilities. They provide important job training and paychecks for the people supported by Evergreen Life Services by turning retired military parachutes into unique gifts.
With the majority of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities being either unemployed or underemployed despite their ability and desire to work, HEAVNDROPt plays a big role in building confidence and providing valuable skills for future employment.
HEAVENDROPt was conceived during a visit to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida when Evergreen CEO, Sue Buchholtz, saw the potential to develop products from the parachutes that could not be used again.
The Children’s Dream Fund
Every child has a dream. The Children’s Dream Fund makes dreams come true for children with life-threatening illnesses living throughout West Central Florida.
This independent wish-granting organization has granted more than 3,500 dreams and they have over 200 children anticipating a dream-come-true. From puppies to playgrounds, special trips to meetings with celebrities, Children’s Dream Fund helps every child referred by area hospitals.
Making dreams come true can be a real bright spot during a child's medical journey. It creates lasting memories to help restore hope and joy to a child and their family.
