Lazydays Employee Foundation

It is with a heavy heart that we share our final update from the Lazydays Employee Foundation. For 20 years, the Foundation has been honored to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families throughout our communities—made possible only through the dedication of our employees and the generosity of our donors.

With the sale of Lazydays RV, our founding and namesake company, the Lazydays Employee Foundation will conclude its operations as of November 30, 2025.

We are incredibly proud of all we have accomplished together and grateful for the many charitable organizations we have had the privilege to support. As part of our closing efforts, we were able to provide final distributions to several long-standing partners, including:

• A Kid’s Place of Tampa Bay
• Bridging Freedom
• Camelot Community Care
• Dawning Family Services
• Hope for Her
• Joshua House
• Plant City Black Heritage (Lots of Hugs Reading Program)
• Rise Tampa – Our Police Foundation
• Stageworks
• Isaiah 117 House
• MYCL (Town of Milliken)

To everyone who has ever been part of this remarkable organization: Thank You! Your commitment and compassion have made a lasting impact on the communities we serve.
It has been my honor to serve on the Lazydays Employee Foundation Board for 18 years. I know I speak for all Board Members and Lazydays employees when I say we are immensely proud of what we have achieved over the past two decades and deeply saddened to see this chapter end. 🩵

With Sincere Gratitude,
Kathy Rainey
President, Lazydays Employee Foundation

🎉 Grant Announcement! 🎉

We are pleased to share that A Kid's Place of Tampa Bay was awarded a final grant of $300,000. This grant will support The Lazydays House at A Kid’s Place and the MacKinnon Family Activity Center.

Since 2009, the Lazydays Employee Foundation has donated $1.4 million to support A Kid's Place programs. We have supported the mission to provide a safe, loving and nurturing home for foster children. From the moment that The Lazydays Employee Foundation pledged to sponsor a house, the Lazydays employees have made it possible to continue our support, in great part, through payroll deductions and internal fundraisers. 💙

Together, we’re creating lasting change and building a stronger, more compassionate community.

We are proud to support such a worthwhile program.

We’re grateful to the Lazydays Employee Foundation for supporting young parents in our Housing for Success program, with a special focus on unaccompanied young parents experiencing homelessness.

These youth, ages 18–24, are navigating one of the hardest chapters of their lives while raising children. With this funding, we’ll provide cribs, toddler beds, and bus passes, all essentials that help them get to work, school, and medical appointments. These aren’t extras, they’re lifelines.

Thank you, Lazydays, for standing with young families in Hillsborough County.
