The Tampa Bay Iowa Club, chartered by the University of Iowa Center for Advancement, promotes the interests of the University, its alumni, and friends through it's educational, social, and athletic programs. The Club chose Heaven on Earth for Veterans for their 2019 charity to support. In a ceremony held earlier this month at Pete and Shorty's in Clearwater, Club President Diane Lane-Levine presented HOEV Executive Director and Founder, Carol Barkalow with a check for $10,000 from the proceeds collected from their 50/50 raffles throughout the year. In more good news, the Board of The Tampa Bay Iowa Club voted to keep HOEV as their charity for 2020.  

THANK YOU TAMPA BAY IOWA CLUB!!

 Bob and Donna Ritchie Donate $5000 to HOEV

At a celebrity golf tournament hosted by the Ritchie Hockey Foundation and held at the TPC Tampa Bay Golf Course, Bob and Donna Ritchie presented HOEV Executive Director, Carol Barkalow with a $5000 check. Barkalow and HOEV board members Ian O'Connell and Jenelle Roberts were there to support the Ritchie Hockey Foundation golf tournament that raises money and provides scholarships to aspiring youth hockey players who otherwise would not have the opportunity to excel scholastically or athletically. The foundation was started in honor of Bob and Donna's son Jason. Jason was an avid hockey player and after his untimely death, his parents wanted to honor his legacy by launching a foundation that uses hockey to help other youth discover and live up to their potential.  More information about the Ritchie Hockey Foundation
