Hands Across the Bay proudly features an annual fundraiser each October, Tampa Bay’s Dancing with the Stars! It is one of the Bay Area’s most highly anticipated, sold out, spectacular shows to benefit Hands Across the Bay and other local charitable organizations doing notable work in the community. Tampa Bay’s Dancing with the Stars is Hands Across the Bay’s signature event and the funds raised are used to provide assistance all year long.

We are proud to support Tampa Bay’s Dancing with the Stars 2019 event and Hands Across the Bay for their continued efforts and dedication of improving the quality of life in Tampa Bay!
Louis J. La Cava

LA CAVA & JACOBSON, P.A. in Tampa recently participated in the St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital Foundation’s annual “Christmas in July” Donation Drive. This is the third year that La Cava & Jacobson employees volunteered at the Christmas in July toy and donation drive to help collect and process toys. The donations of this amazing, heart-filled event help to provide recreation, developmental play and play therapy for very special children during their hospital stays.

La Cava & Jacobson, P.A. is a proud sponsor of St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital Foundation, and looks forward to continuing to do its part to bring “comfort and joy” to these remarkable children in our community.

April and Lou La Cava were honored to be co-chairpersons of the 2019 St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital Foundation Heroes Ball, Journey to Candy Land. This year’s Heroes Ball raised more than $500,000 toward the purchase of virtual reality technology for the St. Joseph’s Children’s Heart Institute that will give cardiac surgeons the ability to plan and prepare for complex heart surgeries in a way never before imagined. This technology can help save the lives of many children who need complex heart surgery. The Ball also honored community hero Dr. Kiran Patel. Dr Patel has become one of Tampa’s most prolific philanthropists. The impact of his generosity has positively impacted our community, the nation and the world. La Cava & Jacobson was proud to be a major sponsor of this fabulous event. Lou and April would like to personally thank all of the other sponsors and everyone who attended the Heroes Ball for their generosity in making this event such a fabulous success. It was their privilege to serve as co-chairs.

La Cava and Jacobson was proud to be a food and beverage sponsor for Eric Piburn’s birthday party. Eric is a brave and inspirational young man who has been fighting severe health issues his whole life. He dedicates much of his time to putting together events in order to help others in need. His birthday party was held to support Eric’s medical fund. Eric is hoping that he will one day get on Ellen DeGeneres’ television show to tell his story. That would be a treat for him but even more of a treat for the viewers of Ellen’s show. We certainly hope that will happen.
