On August 13th, 2025, the Centre Club’s Breakfast with an Executive series recently welcomed Freddy Williams, President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tampa Bay (BGCGTB), for an engaging discussion on the organization’s mission, impact, and vision for the future.
Williams highlighted how BGCGTB provides safe, supportive environments where children and teens can access after-school programs, mentorship, and resources to help them thrive academically and personally. He emphasized the organization’s commitment to shaping the next generation of leaders by giving young people the tools they need to succeed in school, build character, and develop critical life skills.
The conversation also underscored the importance of philanthropy in expanding opportunities for youth across Tampa Bay. Through the support of community partners and local businesses, BGCTB continues to grow its reach, positively impacting thousands of families in the region.
Elevate, Inc. was proud to attend alongside several clients, including Kuducom, Cientochenta Agency, Ocean Rescue Alliance International, Tampa Housing Authority, NuCycle Energy, CRG 1905, LCS7, Shriners Children’s, and the Children’s Cancer Center. Events like this showcase the power of collaboration between nonprofits, business leaders, and community advocates in driving meaningful change.
The morning served as a reminder of the vital role organizations like BGCGTB play in strengthening the Tampa Bay community — ensuring every child has the chance to realize their full potential.
