DCE’s Q3 Non-Profit Giveback Recipients Announced
We were overwhelmed with the amazing range of community causes submitted for this quarter’s non-profit $10,000 award in event-related production services. So much so that we are naming three organizations to each receive a $10k grant.
Event Management & Planning Services Recipient:
I Rise FL – 2026 Survivor Leadership Conference
DCE will help launch this startup conference in Tampa, a first ever 2-day event exclusively for survivors of human trafficking in the state. The event will be hosted by I Rise, a non-profit organization that – along with other anti-trafficking organizations – is dedicating to helping women who have survived violence and exploitation.
Managed AV Services Recipient:
The Ryan Neece Foundation Holiday Party (fundraising event)
DCE will provide managed audiovisual production services for this growing annual event as it moves to a new venue with a dynamic theme. This event has become one of the foundation’s most important fundraisers, playing a significant role in its mission to create opportunities for teens to embrace the Power of Giving through volunteerism and inspirational leadership programs.
Video Production Services Recipient:
The First Tee of Tampa Bay
DCE will produce commercial videos to launch a new educational and team building program offered by the First Tee. Starting this fall the organization will host corporate staff retreats on the Short Course at Rogers Park where members of the business community experience the mission of the First Tee: To impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.
Thank you to everyone who applied for this grant, and for all you are doing for our communities.
