Community Caring
The Heart of Community
Pepin Family Foundation is proud to support the Boys & Girls Club of Tampa Bay. The Boys & Girls Club enables all young people, especially those in need, to reach their full potential by providing a world-class Club Experience and demonstrating good character and leadership. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay serves more than 12,500 youth in Hillsborough and Pasco Counties at 25 locations.
Tom Pepin and his family have committed $100,000 to Mental Health for Heroes (HEROES). As one of the founding members of HEROES, Pepin Family Foundation has dedicated itself to providing mental health services to law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, and all professionals on the frontline in Pinellas County. The program covers costs for counseling and other mental health services. This is the first of many resources prioritized by the Pepin Family towards wellness and mental strengthening programs for all processionals on the front line in Tampa Bay.

Current Partnerships
Pepin Family Foundation has been a 2022 and 2023 sponsor of Mackenzie’s Empowerment Zone at Hands Across Tampa Bay. This sponsorship goes toward hosting empowerment classes for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking, first responders and law enforcement who have PTSD, and parents of chronically ill children.
Founded by the President of Gold & Diamond Source, Julie Weintraub, Hands Across the Bay opened a month ago to impact the lives of Tampa Bay residents positively. The organization aims to inspire the community to become more compassionate, empathetic, and charitable by assisting and mentoring families in need and advocating for change.
The Champions for Change Challenge is an annual event that promotes inclusion for people with developmental disabilities. The event brings together children and young adults, their parents and guardians, service providers, community leaders, and local businesses to witness the abilities and capabilities of those with developmental disabilities. The challenge includes a series of fun, engaging physical exercise and team-based activities that showcase the ability and talent of each person and their team. Teams consist of both typical and differently abled participants, each with a coach/trainer, and will be awarded trophies and medals for their participation.
