March 16- April 3
Join us for a head-to-head, bracket-style fundraising competition to support local Tampa Bay charities.
Each charity has a chance to win up to $50,000!
The Rules
-
The Giving Bowl is a head-to-head, bracket-style fundraising competition where five athletes team up with five Tampa Bay charities to compete for the title of Giving Bowl Champion and a $50,000 grand prize.
Each round, the athlete-charity teams that raise more money than their competitors advance to the next round. Donations received from the previous round do not carry over—each round starts fresh! -
Support your favorite athlete and charity by clicking their donate link below.
Every donation helps your chosen team advance and get closer to the championship prize!
