Hurricane Relief Efforts for LSP Alumni in Need
In the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, we know that the St. Pete community has a long road to recovery. For years, Leadership St. Pete (LSP) and the Leadership St. Pete Alumni Association (LSPAA) have stood strong in supporting the St. Pete community. Now, we are turning to our community for help.
The recent storms have caused devastating losses and deeply impacted many, including some of our own alumni. These leaders, who have given so much to our city, need our support. We’re all in this together, and no one should have to navigate recovery alone.
We believe in the power of coming together, which is why LSP and LSPAA have partnered to launch the LSP Alumni Hurricane Relief Fund, focused on providing aid to alumni whose lives and livelihoods were disrupted. This fund, supported by tax-deductible donations to the LSPAA Foundation, aims to offer financial and volunteer support to help alumni recover from significant personal or business losses due to the storms.
Our goal is to distribute funds quickly to cover immediate needs, and we are counting on your generosity. We invite you to donate to the LSP Alumni Hurricane Relief Fund. Every contribution helps make a difference.
Additionally, we're also seeking volunteer support to assist with recovery efforts, whether it's help with debris removal, cleanup, repairs, or other recovery efforts. If you're able to lend a hand, please fill out our Volunteer Sign-up Form.
If you or a fellow alum have been impacted by these storms and your home or business have been affected, we invite you to share your needs by filling out the form(s) below.
The deadline for donations and applications is October 31, 2024, so we can ensure timely aid to those in need.
Let’s come together, as we always have, to support one another in this time of need.
