As the sun dips below the Tampa skyline on August 5th, 2023, the Centre Club will be abuzz with a unique brand of excitement. Florida’s inaugural Social Entrepreneur Summit & Ecosystem Fundraiser, presented by Phoenix Portfolio Partners and the Champa Bay Community Foundation, is set to take center stage. It promises to be an evening dedicated to the power of collaboration, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of a better world.
Tampa Bay’s progressive ecosystem of change-makers will come alive like never before, with over 600 innovators, philanthropists, academics, veterans, journalists, and social impact pioneers converging to amplify their impact on the world. This summit, the first of its kind in Florida, sets its sights not just on the here and now but on the future – a future shaped by the principles of social entrepreneurship.
The spotlight will shine brightly on our distinguished guest speakers, a compelling lineup of seasoned industry veterans, and cutting-edge innovators. Headlining the list is Mayor Jane Castor, whose progressive leadership has consistently catalyzed growth and innovation in Tampa Bay. Joining her on the panel will be Gary Cardone, a renowned business magnate whose expertise in investment and entrepreneurship has set the bar high in the global arena.
Each guest speaker brings a unique perspective, painting a holistic picture of the immense potential that social entrepreneurship holds. Their inspiring stories of resilience, creativity, and dedication are set to spark engaging dialogues, provoke thought, and foster an atmosphere of knowledge sharing.
The summit will be an interactive exploration of the four pillars of Healthcare, Education, Veteran Empowerment, and Innovative Economic Development. Beyond the engaging panel discussions and Q&A sessions, attendees can look forward to a socially-funded memorabilia auction. This unique event is a testament to the power of collective action, as all funds raised will support four vital causes.
The primary beneficiary of this landmark event is the Florida Association of Veteran-Owned Businesses (FAVOB), with an ambitious fundraising goal of $45K. Next Gen Talent 360, Synapse Florida, and Brighter Times will also benefit, each with a fundraising target of $15K. In all, the summit aims to raise a total of $90K.
