Muma Children’s Hospital at Tampa General Hospital has partnered with jewelry designer Kendra Scott for a holiday fundraiser to benefit pediatric care.
The effort highlights 10-year-old Keetzally Baca, who worked with the jewelry company to design pieces that will support young patients, like her.
Keetzally, who was born with serious kidney problems, underwent numerous surgeries before receiving a kidney transplant at Tampa General Hospital, in 2022.
As part of the collaboration, Keetzally and her family recently visited the Kendra Scott store, in Tampa’s Hyde Park Village, to create a personalized jewelry collection. Proceeds from the collection will support renovations at Muma Children’s Hospital.
A kickoff event is scheduled for Dec. 4, from 5 to 7 p.m., at the Hyde Park Village store, located at 1511 W. Swann Ave. During the event, 20% of in-store purchases will go to the hospital. The collection is also available online through Dec. 13, with shoppers able to use the code “GIVEBACK-HFOBA” at checkout to contribute.
