GBTA Tampa Bay Fundraiser 2026

 Every item on this page was donated.

Thank you to Delta, our lead sponsor, to Tampa International Airport for hosting Taking Off for a Cause, and to every airline and hotel partner you'll find below — their generosity is this auction.

Why we're here

When a young person ages out of foster care, the support simply stops. No family to call at 2 a.m. No one co-signing a lease or teaching them to drive.

Ready for Life Pinellas & Pasco steps into that gap — housing support, a food pantry, transportation, mentors, job readiness and financial literacy, GED prep, dental care, and counseling for young adults right here in our two counties.

So bid on the trip you've been meaning to take — then bid a little past comfortable.

Bid often. Bid generously. Thank you for flying with us.

And don't forget to join us this Thursday at TPA for networking, door prizes and the end of our auction.  You can find more information and register here
