Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. ~Margaret Mead

Life Amplified NOURISH is back for its 13th year and 18th FUNdraiser, bringing the community together for a red, white, and blue-jeans indoor picnic where the dress code is comfy, the vibe is joyful, and the mission is serious: making sure kids have reliable meals.

Think picnic meets party with denim, colorful picnic-inspired details, great music, big laughs, and plenty of opportunities to connect. Enjoy live music featuring some of the best voices from Tampa Bay’s musical stages, along with the comedy hijinks of Tampa Metropolitan Improv. And because we refuse to let a single delicious bite of that amazing charcuterie go to waste, Campbell River Cheese and Charcuterie will create individual picnic meals for guests to enjoy.

DJing provided by Vocal4Media. Returning to keep the evening rolling is the fabulous Cloe Cabrera, former Miss Florida USA and journalist, whose energy, wit, and personality make her the perfect host for this one-of-a-kind celebration.

Come in your blue jeans, bring your appetite, and get ready for an evening filled with music, laughter, delicious food, and a whole lot of community spirit – all while helping put nutritious food into the hands of kids who need it.
