Sounding Joy is honored to receive a $5,000 grant from the Rotary Club of Tampa! On Tuesday, February 6, the Rotary Club of Tampa celebrated its Day of Giving 2024 at the Ferguson Law Center. Twenty local causes stepped to the podium to share their missions.

The event provided $70,000 in grants to 20 local causes.  Each grant goes to fill a need within one of the organization’s three focus areas: advancing education, access to health care, and a healthy environment.

This marks the second year Sounding Joy has received a grant from Rotary Club of Tampa.
