The HC Foundation was honored to participate in the Latinos Unidos Luncheon, hosted by the City of Tampa Mayor’s Hispanic Advisory Council.

For nearly four decades, this event has generated vital scholarship funds for local students, many of whom are first-generation college students pursuing a brighter future.

We were particularly inspired by Barbra Martinez, a Hillsborough CollegeHOPE Scholar, who shared her remarkable journey of resilience, returning to college at 50 years old, determined to transform her path through education.

Tampa Bay Sun FC, President, General Manager and Lawyer, Christina Unkel motivated the crowd in appreciation of our amazing Tampa Community.

We celebrate each moving story, every awardee, the generosity of the Krewe of the Knights of Sant' Yago for year of scholarship support and other donors that believe in the life-changing power of education.
