The evening was also the setting for several awards presentations and a captivating guest speaker, Julie Weintraub, President of Hands Across the Bay. Most often recognized as the co-owner of the Gold and Diamond Source, Julie and her husband Steve began the non-profit Hands Across the Bay as their way to give back to the community they love.
In the summer of 1965, 25 businessmen joined together to create a group dedicated to giving back to the community. While researching existing service organizations, the group chose Sertoma International as the organization that most closely aligned with their focus. After all, Sertoma stands for SERvice TO MAnkind; it was a perfect fit for the group's mission. The club was founded that same year as an official Sertoma charter club named Tampa East Sertoma.
Since that time, Tampa East Sertoma Club has donated more than $2,500,000 as well as more than 80,000 volunteer service hours to both financially and physically support local organizations. Currently, the club is supporting Sertoma Speech and Hearing Foundation, Early Childhood Council, Skip-A-Lunch/Feed-A-Bunch, John Tragon Foundation, Buddy Baseball, Self Reliance, Inc., USF Audiology Alumni Endowment Scholarships, A League of Their Own, Boys and Girls Club of Temple Terrace and Lopez Exceptional Center.

ABOUT

The Service to Mankind Award is the highest honor a Sertoma club can bestow on a non-Sertoman, and it is presented every year to a member of the volunteer community who exemplifies the best in SERvice TO MANkind.
The club felt that Weintraub certainly deserves the honor for her compassion, for her willingness to give of herself to help others and for being a wonderful example of what SERvice TO MANkind is all about.

Julie Weintraub receives our $2,500 donation from Jim Bransford, Sponsorship VP
Weintraub presented a motivating discussion of how her life’s challenges led her to create Hands Across the Bay, with a mission to positively impact as many Tampa Bay residents as possible. The organization focuses on assisting and mentoring hardworking families in crisis through no fault of their own as well as domestic violence awareness and prevention.
Their team uses a different approach from other agencies that focus on only one aspect of a problem; Hands Across the Bay identifies all the circumstances surrounding a situation to best determine the right solution and then creatively utilizes their resources and partnerships to get the family back on the road to independence.
