Presented By:

After deliberating at the Tampa Bay Business and Wealth office for 4 hours, three judges from the Tampa Bay area have selected the finalists for Tampa Bay Business and Wealth’s Philanthropists of the Year Awards.

The Philanthropists of the Year Awards honors those individuals who lead the way, in Tampa Bay, through philanthropic devotion. These leaders continually set the bar for excellence in community leadership and represent the change-makers we all aspire to be.

Our judges included Hugh Campbell, president of AC4S Technologies, Ashley Dietz, president and chief executive officer at Florida Philanthropic Network, and Shilen Patel, CEO of HealthAxis.

Nomination packets were reviewed blind, with names and company titles redacted. Finalists were chosen based, purely, on the material provided in their packets.

An awards program will recognize the honorees with a cocktail reception and sit-down dinner at Armature Works at 6 p.m., on November 8. At the event, a winner in each category will be named and celebrated.
