For families living in the Tampa Bay and surrounding areas hope comes in the form of a program called Wheels of Success. Through generous donations Wheels of Success offers reliable transportation or maintenance of their existing vehicle to eligible families.

Wheels of Success received $55 from Sharon Baillie and Chip Carter of Fox 13 who received it from Ryan Nece, whose foundation has given the sum to 60 individuals with the challenge to PAY IT FORWARD. Sound familiar? Ryan’s campaign has been named "The Power of Giving." We have accepted this community challenge in hope of turning our $55 into $20,000 to repair the 20 cars we’ll give away at our 4th Annual Labor Day Car Give-away.
We want to thank everyone who has helped us raise $15K to repair the 20 vehicles given out on Labor Day. One picture says it all ... YOU helped put this Labor Day smile on Recipient Lenore H.'s face as she drove her new-to-her wheels out of our parking lot. If you have been following our progress on our web site, you know that we still need to raise another $5K to cover repairs of those vehicles.
