We are proud to recognize the Tampa Bay Rowdies as our August Partner of the Month. As a dedicated community partner, the Rowdies have gone above and beyond to create multiple uplifting experiences for the children and families we serve at the Children’s Cancer Center.
In July, the Rowdies supported our Restoring Inner Strength and Energy (RISE) program by hosting CCC children and families for an on-field pre-clinic experience with their trainers and players. The families then got to enjoy a home game and were given swag and autographs from the players. Our RISE program introduces families to an active lifestyle with attainable nutritional goals. From practicing on the field with players to cheering them on in the stands, the day was all about being active and spending time together.
Blake Bodily, a player on the Tampa Bay Rowdies, was the featured reader on our Bedtime Tales program. The program is held on select Wednesday evenings, where a reader reads a children’s book over Zoom to bring comfort and smiles to CCC kids.
We are incredibly grateful to the Tampa Bay Rowdies for their continued support of our mission. Thank you for being a meaningful part of the CCC community and for using your platform to make a difference in the lives of local families.
