Hope to Dream, Ashley, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, and Tampa Bay Sun FC united volunteers to construct beds for local children in need. The Build-a-Bed event, hosted at Tampa Bay Sun FC’s practice facility, successfully produced 30 bed frames.
Tampa Bay Sun FC players traded their cleats for power tools on Sunday, working alongside community volunteers to sand, drill, and assemble bed frames. Each bed will be fully furnished with a mattress, pillows, and bedding before being delivered to families throughout the Tampa Bay area.
"The energy and dedication shown by everyone involved today was incredible," said Ruthie Bautista, Vice President of Hope to Dream. "When professional athletes, corporate partners, and community members come together for a cause like this, the impact is truly meaningful. These beds represent more than just furniture – they're a foundation for better sleep, better health, and better futures."
The event marked the first collaboration between Hope to Dream and Sleep in Heavenly Peace in the Tampa Bay area, combining the expertise and resources of both organizations to address the issue of children not having their own bed.
