Tampa Bay Charity Coalition Announces First Nominee for "Making the Difference" Award

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Aug. 20, 2020 - PRLog -- the Tampa Bay Charity Coalition announced the first nominee for their "Making the Difference" award. The nominee is Tami Martin, a foster youth and veterans' advocate constantly dedicating herself to helping others.

       Tami Martin is the founder of Future Resilient Empowered Engaged Foster Care Youth, a non-profit organization that provides support for foster children, whether they are currently in the foster care system or aging out of it.

       Not content to just help foster children, during the coronavirus lockdown Tami founded the Tampa Bay Mask Project, hand sewing masks for foster group homes, at-risk youth, the U.S. Coast Guard, homeless veterans and anyone who needed them.

       "My mission is to provide resources to those children. For example most of them are not aware of their rights as individuals," said Tami. "So, I have been working alongside a local attorney and author to create and distribute a'Know your Rights' book, which covers how they can make their voice count and what rights they have."

"Tami exemplifies the groups that are part of the Charity Coalition," said Clemence Chevrot, Director of the Tampa Bay Charity Coalition and Community Affairs Director for the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization. "She is always ready for action and to help those in need."

In celebration of their 6^th Anniversary, the Tampa Bay Charity Coalition honors those who helped the community constantly throughout 2020 with the "Making the Difference" award, acknowledging standout volunteers and charity founders. Youth volunteers can be nominated for the "Smile Makers" award.

Due to the coronavirus epidemic, the certificates and awards will be mailed to the recipients. The winner will be featured on the Tampa bay Charity Coalition page www.facebook.com/tbcharitycoalition
