FLORIDA

Dear Friend,

‘Tis the season for giving back. I encourage you to find new ways to give back to your community. Here are a few stories about what other constituents are doing throughout our district -

Florida State University’s Senior offensive lineman Dillan Gibbons is being recognized for his work with the non-profit he founded, Big Man Big Heart, Inc. Gibbons was named the recipient of the coveted 2022 Wuerffel Trophy. From bringing a superfan to Tallahassee for an FSU-Notre Dame game to supporting teammates and taking kids on Christmas shopping sprees, Gibbons’ non-profit focuses on doing good and giving back.

The Florida Highway Patrol recently delivered nonperishable food items to Bay, Jackson, and Calhoun counties. Local grocery stores and area businesses worked together by donating food boxes through the Florida Highway Patrol’s annual ‘Stuff the Charger’ fundraiser. Calhoun-Liberty Employees Credit Union was one of the many who donated a trailer full of food. The food boxes were then dropped off at the Bay County Council on Aging, Innovative Charities, and Helping Hand. Read more here.

Hundreds of guests attended “The Never Give Up on Country” at the World Equestrian Center, organized by Travis Mills. Mills is one of five surviving post-9/11 quadruple amputee veterans. The foundation was started by Mills himself after he suffered injuries in Afghanistan. Mills lost portions of all his limbs in an explosion while serving our country and was later healed. He comes all the way from the state of Maine. Read more here.
