As a non-profit organization, It's All About Kids (IAAK) depends on the partnership of corporations and businesses that are part of the community of Tampa in which services are rendered. We’re proud of our sponsors and dedicate this page to featuring them and their organizations. These partners have provided tangle and non-tangle services and resources to make our mission possible. Although we have a sponsorship page listing donors and their level of giving, this page features companies and organizations that have not only donated monetarily to IAAK but have actively made resources available that would otherwise be almost impossible for us to obtain because of our limited financial resources. We honor these companies for taking an active role in our community and for voluntarily extending their hands of help to us and the families we service.

In these times of troubled economic trends and budgets restraints, it is all the more important that corporations and business help provide safe and wholesome programs and services for the children of the families they employ and to the clients they do business with. It is important that businesses show their support to organizations, like IAAK, that strive to provide social services to families in the communities in which their companies reside. If the families of these communities are successfully then the community grows to become a healthy, vibrant and financially stable environment to live in. This, in turn, gives the children and their families a great place to live and thrive. You can click on any of the logos and picture on this page to find out more about these partners.

The university Mall has made it possible to occupy a suite that houses our Learning Center that provides after school programs, week-long camps during Summer, Spring and Winter school breaks and weekend Etiquette and Manners programs. Thanks to this partnership, the children in the University Community can take advantage of all the services we provide in a space that is large enough to house a computer lab, an arts and craft area, a library and play areas. The University Mall and its' staff strives to make our community a special place for children and their families.

The Lazydays Foundation Dream Team provided the skills and labor to build our Learning Center in the University Mall. These talented men and women volunteered their time and energy to develop, build, paint and furnish the center. Many of the volunteers brought their tools and equipment and spent several weekends during the 2009 holiday season, before we opened the facility, to prepare the center for the children. We will are greatly thankful for their efforts. They saved our organization thousands of dollars in construction costs that enabled IAAK to open this center.

It is extremely important for children to get to their after school programs safely and securely. The Russell Foundation has made it possible for IAAK to offer transportation services for our students by donating a 15 passenger van for us to be able to transport children from five local schools to our Learning Center in the University Mall. This donation has enable IAAK to save thousands of dollars in transportation expenses and hire an in-house driver and educator.

In addition to being one of our board members and treasure of our organization, Mr. Blondel has supported IAAK for 11 years with his professional advice and expertise and has been an active board member that has brought much needed knowledge and experience to the board room. Mr. Blondel saved us thousands of dollars in accounting fees by guiding us in our internal operations. His company continues to service businesses in Hillsborough and Pasco County with his accounting services from his office in Lutz and offers QuickBooks training classes at his facility for groups or individuals.

Thanks to the Clarion Hotel IAAK now has a safe place to park the van we use to transport children from five local schools to our after school program located in the University Mall. As a neighboring business, they have allowed us to use their facilities as a parking are for our vehicle. The hotel is a great place to host conferences, business meetings and guests and is easily accessible. This partnership is saving IAAK hundreds of dollars in garage rentals, and has enabled us to pass these saving to the families of the children we service.

The Oaks at Riverview houses our second Learning Center in Tampa. This site has been made possible thanks to the partnership made with their management. Here we provide free after school services to the residents of this community in a storefront equipped with a small computer lab and tutoring area. This community is located in the Old Seminole Heights area of Tampa, which has seen many years of depression, poverty and crime. But revitalization efforts are being made to bring this community back. The Oaks at Riverview, was previously a housing complex of the Tampa Housing Authority and was demolished and rebuilt to a community of houses, townhouses, apartments, a senior center and a community center. This project was made to provide new affordable housing for local residents. We are proud to be a partner of this effort by providing after school services to the children of this community.
