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!

  • Donation Limit: You can donate up to $2,500 to the athlete-charity team you are supporting in Round 2.

    Round 1: $1,000 max

    Round 2: $2,500 max

    Round 3: $5,000 max
