• Community Tampa Bay was one of three organizations to receive the first annual All Star Grant from the Tampa Bay Rays Foundation yesterday.   Rays President Matt Silverman awarded a $50,000 grant to Community Tampa Bay and said: "This is a great day for the Rays," Silverman said. "We had a fantastic season, but to be able to invest in our community, and use our resources to better our community, is truly an honor."

Funding from the Rays will provide support for the Anytown program beginning in Summer 2009.  Board members, staff, volunteers and Anytown graduates were at Tropicana Field to celebrate the award.  “Being sponsored by the Rays Baseball Foundation is an exciting opportunity for Community Tampa Bay” said Executive Director Stacie Blake.   “Given the diversity of the Tampa Bay Rays roster and staff, where at least seven countries and 12 states are represented, this partnership will concretely demonstrate to youth across the Bay, the need for inclusiveness and respect to achieve success in life, sports and business.”
