The Mission of the Children’s Board Heart Gallery of Tampa is to RAISE AWARENESS of Tampa’s waiting foster children, ENGAGE THE PUBLIC in their welfare and secure permanent and loving ADOPTIVE FAMILIES. The Children’s Board Heart Gallery of Tampa offers unique and innovative methods for recruiting loving families for Tampa’s waiting children. We are also committed to supporting our children in foster care with critical quality of life services to increase normalcy and to promote self-esteem through participation in sports, the arts and other extra-curricular activities. Our interactive website provides professional photographs, full bios, audio and video interviews for potential adoptive parents. Our annual fundraiser gala BE MINE takes place every February and celebrates the joy of families found and the hope of those yet to come.
