Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla will celebrate their conquest of Tampa with a festive celebration that will include live music and merriment, as Tampa’s favorite pirates make ready to leave the city from Sparkman Wharf! Situated along Garrison Channel in downtown Tampa, Sparkman Wharf (615 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602) is Tampa’s new outdoor waterfront destination. It celebrates the best of Tampa – good weather, waterfront views, music, craft beer, and exceptional dining.

The event kicks off with a social hour, offering attendees an opportunity to network and learn more about the organization’s mission. Following a delicious lunch, guests will hear inspiring stories from families whose lives have been transformed by a fulfilled dream. The highlight of the afternoon will be the paddle raise, where attendees can directly contribute to bringing future dreams to life. Since its founding in 1981, the St. Petersburg-based nonprofit has fulfilled over 4,000 dreams for children across West Central Florida battling life-threatening illnesses. With over 170 children currently awaiting their dream-come-true, the Children’s Dream Fund relies on community support through events like the Dreammaker Luncheon to provide hope and joy to these children and their families. The Children’s Dream Fund is one of the oldest and most active independent wish-granting organizations in the United States. Serving children ages 3-21, the organization remains committed to making dreams a reality and creating lasting memories for those who need them most.

More than just a fundraising walk, the American Cancer Society Relay For Life brings together passionate supporters who embody the American Cancer Society vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. This volunteer-led experience unites communities to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and raise funds to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer. Although each Relay For Life event embraces the uniqueness of the home community, every event does have the same four signature elements: a celebration of cancer survivors, a celebration of caregivers, a luminaria ceremony to honor and remember loved ones, and the opportunity to fight back against cancer.
