Hands Across The Bay
This is my first year serving on the Denim & Diamonds 2019 Committee for Julie Weintraub’s Hands Across the Bay with some incredible women. I got involved last year when my mom asked if I’d be interested in making a basket for the silent auction. Domestic violence awareness is critical, not just because it is a local problem, but a global problem. To create a change, we have to speak up and be open about the issues at hand to help save lives and make a difference in our communities. Love should not hurt.
"A Helping Hand for a Better Tomorrow"
In 2010, Julie Weintraub, philanthropist and business owner (Gold and Diamond Source) founded Hands Across the Bay, which is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. It was created to positively influence and inspire the community and has quickly become one of the most esteemed charities in Tampa Bay.
