Diversity Flight Series | Bootleggers Brewing Company
|
|
The series is an awareness and fundraising campaign in response to the outcry for help following George Floyd's wrongful death and strives to partner with community members and organizations that are working to be a part of the change that needs to
|
|
happen against injustices within this country.
Through the help of the
Beer Table, a community group established by the Bootleggers Brewing Company, they were inspired to create the Diversity Flight Series as a result of Safe & Sound Hillsborough's goal of "offering a structure to unite the efforts of those involved in criminal justice, economic development, education, community building and health." Recognizing that it takes a diverse group of people and professions to foster positive change that can benefit the community as a whole, they are using their skills and resources to support social justice causes.
The Diversity Flight Series release will last throughout this weekend,
July 30 - August 2, as a canned option and proceeds will be donated to Safe & Sound Hillsborough.

Detention Advisory Board | Programming & Facility Improvements
|
|
Since the inception of the
Detention Advisory Board in 2018, monthly meetings with the staff have resulted in numerous projects to benefit the
Hillsborough West Juvenile Detention Center and its aging facility. Under the leadership of Freddy Barton, serving as the chair of the board, improvements from this
|
|
collaboration include: establishing
improved educational programming, identifying mentoring resources and opportunities to prevent recidivism, implementing activities to enhance physical and mental health, painting of the facility, perimeter clean up, external greenery beautification and an important partnership with the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
through their social justice initiative. As a result, players and staff visited the center to spend time with the youth, have meaningful dialog, and interact in fun activities.
This partnership has also provided much needed resources for the youth, a remodeled learning lab sponsored by the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Foundation
, and appreciation dinners for the staff.
