Olé! What a night!

Our LAMPLighters gathered at the iconic Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City for dinner and the famous flamenco show - an evening of great food, great friends, and giving back.

This marks our 7th consecutive year partnering with the Columbia Restaurant Group through their Community Harvest program. And there's still time to join in! Dine at any Columbia, Ulele, Casa Santo Stefano, or Cha Cha Coconuts through the end of September, vote for LAMPLighters on your Community Harvest ballot, and 5% of your check will be donated to LAMPLighters - at no extra cost to you.

Huge thank you to Rhonda Young and Melissa Voelker for organizing such a beautiful evening!

Such a wonderful start to our LAMPLighters year! Our first General Membership Meeting was filled with friendship, purpose, and a shared commitment to showing up for the children and families we serve.

Thank you to Metropolitan Ministries for welcoming us and to Friends of Friends of Joshua House for reminding us why this work matters so much. Excited for all we’ll accomplish together this year!
