Join us for our 17th annual Power of Giving Holiday Party as we press start to level up the next generation of future game changers in a retro arcade night featuring live entertainment, heavy hors d’oeuvres, silent auction, and an open barcade that will transport you right back to your childhood. Hosted on Thursday, December 18, 2025 at Tampa Garden Club, this event supports more than 1,500 high school students in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties. View the 2025 Holiday Party Sponsorship Guide here.

Ryan Nece Foundation programming positively impacts teens by teaching them the principles needed to become the next generation of servant leaders in our community dedicated to lifelong volunteerism, philanthropy, and civic responsibility. In our modern society, young people are bombarded with messages of selfishness. The Ryan Nece Foundation aims to combat those messages by exposing young people to community issues, encouraging them to reach outside their circle of knowledge, and teaching them to give selflessly.

Your sponsorship makes it possible for us to expand our programming to ensure more high school students in the Greater Tampa Bay Area have access to organized service-learning opportunities and leadership education. Your support encourages volunteerism, civic engagement, and leading others during the adolescent years in hopes those practices will continue as these students enter college and the adult workforce.

“My number one takeaway from the Ryan Nece Foundation has been the collaboration. I usually am not good at collaborating but the things we have done have inspired and motivated me to collaborate more in school and things outside of school.” – Leonel
