  Hearts and Hope Fundraiser is an indoor/outdoor concert benefiting seniors and disabled adults that are suffering for basic necessities.

  Many senior citizens and disabled adults in our community are currently struggling with a lack of basic necessities. These individuals, our neighbors, often face challenges in affording essential items such as food and hygiene products. Beyond these fundamental needs, some require mental health support, legal guidance, daily assistance, affordable housing options, and clothing. The difficulties they encounter often go unnoticed. To address these critical needs, we are organizing an event featuring diverse entertainment, a live raffle, and other engaging activities. All proceeds generated will be directly allocated to providing care for seniors and disabled adults in need within Pinellas County.
