Good Life Tampa Bay Helps “Pass It On” with Quarterback Jeff Garcia’s Foundation

February 01, 2010, Tampa, Florida, - Good Life Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay’s premier lifestyle show that reports on local flavor from the fast-growing Tampa Bay market, was there to support Tampa Bay Buc quarterback Jeff Garcia and Carmella, his wife, as they hosted a Red Carpet Cocktail Reception at the The Home Theater Gallery, located at 3300 South Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa.

The “Garcia Pass It On Foundation” was established as a means to share resources with people in less fortunate circumstances. Through the foundation, Jeff and Carmella Garcia seek to give back in a tangible way to causes that are close to their hearts.

The event was sponsored by Govberg Jewelers, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, Gainesville Coins, Astor & Black, 717 South, Effen Vodka and Nike, which allowed for a wonderful experience for all and enthusiastic participation in the charitable auction.

Proceeds of the event benefited the Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Tampa Bay.

Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Tampa Bay provides comfort and care to children and their families by supporting local Ronald McDonald Houses®, its cornerstone program, and by making grants to other local not-for-profit organizations that help children in need. The Ronald McDonald House® of Tampa Bay provides a home-away-from-home for families of pediatric patients in area hospitals.

It is the belief of the Garcias, charitable supporters and Good Life Tampa Bay that together we can make a difference by “passing on” our successes to enrich the lives of children and their families across the nation.
