February 2017
Mezrah Consulting is proud to support our community through sponsoring and attending various charitable events. Below are a few recent contributions that we have made to our local community.
Mezrah Consulting has been proud to support the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF) the past few years, sponsoring the annual Brinner of Hope (breakfast for dinner) event. This year, we continued our support by sponsoring a new event, The Sunshine Project Summit. The Summit, which was held at the Tampa Airport Marriott on February 2nd & 3rd, was an opportunity for doctors who are conducting cancer research in various hospitals throughout the US to discuss their work.
There was a networking dinner held the evening of the 2nd that was truly uplifting. Dr. Stephen Lessnick received the NPCF’s Heart of Gold award for his hard work and dedication to finding a faster cure and several families whose lives have been touched by pediatric cancer shared their stories with attendees.
The 5th Annual Companies for Kids Golf Invitational supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa will be held on December 8, 2016, at Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club. Mezrah Consulting is proud to be sponsoring a hole at the event this year. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay’s mission is to “provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.” They serve seven counties: Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, Pasco, Citrus, Hernando and Sumter counties.
Mezrah Consulting sponsored both semesters of the 2016 University of South Florida’s MUMA College of Business Trading Challenge Scholarship. The challenge was open to any Muma College of Business student. All players began with $1 million in virtual cash. The student with the highest account value at the end of the semester won a $1,000
scholarship.
Mezrah Consulting is happy to sponsor the Make-A-Wish Annual Night of the Iguana. This is the 20th year of this fundraising event and will be hosted by Pepin’s Hospitality Centre on Friday, September 20, 2016. Proceeds will benefit Make-A-Wish Central & Northern Florida which grants the wishes of children suffering from life-threatening medical conditions. To find out more please visit Night of the Iguana.
On June 13, 2016, Mezrah Consulting was proud to sponsor a hole at the Consolidated Services Group’s (CSG) Tenth Anniversary Charity Golf Outing to benefit Make A Wish Foundation. The event raised over $45,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Philadelphia, Northern Delaware and the Susquehanna Valley, and raised enough funds to grant wishes to 21 children in their community.
The 6th Annual Partners in Charity Silent Auction & Golf Tournament was held by Home Shopping Network (HSN) on Friday, April 15, 2016. Mezrah Consulting participated as a Bronze Sponsor. The tournament raised over $43,500.00 for Junior Achievement of Tampa Bay’s kindergarten-12th grade programs which foster work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills.
