A+C Foundation
About us | It was soon after joining the Tampa Bay Lightning that Rob was asked to co-Chair the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s (JDRF) annual Gala. That year’s record-setting event was helped significantly by the development of a partner event to the Gala that Rob created that would be hosted by three local professional athletes, representing the MLB, NFL, and the NHL, whose lives were also affected by Type-One Diabetes (T1D) and that Rob convinced to join him. The first Athletes+Causes event was born out of the desire to engage high-profile athletes to support Juvenile Diabetes, but Rob didn’t stop there. Rob leveraged the success of the inaugural event to create Athletes and Causes, a 501(c)(3) public charity, that is focused on getting athletes, coaches and artists to understand their own philanthropic passions and help them leverage their platform and celebrity to positively impact the lives of others. |
