About this Event

Join us for an unforgettable evening of purpose, elegance, and impact as the Denard Span Foundation presents the 2025 Driven Gala: A Journey of Hope. Held at the iconic, Armature Works, this annual dinner gala will bring together Tampa Bay’s most passionate leaders, philanthropists, and change makers for a night that celebrates resilience and powers transformation.

Through powerful storytelling, live entertainment, and intentional giving, the Driven Gala supports our transportation initiative, providing single mothers with the reliable vehicles, repairs, and resources they need to move forward.

This year’s theme, “Driven: A Journey of Hope”, reflects the real-life journeys of the families we serve, mothers who are strong, courageous, and determined to create a better life for their families.

Why This Event Matters

Transportation is more than a ride, it’s a lifeline. It’s how a mother gets to work, takes her child to school, or shows up for opportunity. Every mile traveled is a step toward independence and hope. By attending the Driven Gala, you’re not just attending an event. You’re fueling someone’s future.

If you have any questions contact us at [email protected].

​We look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,

The Denard Span Foundation Team

All tickets and proceeds from the gala will directly support the Denard Span Foundation’s mission to assist single-parent families via the DSF Transportation Program. Our goal is to amplify our positive impact in the Tampa Bay community and provide essential support to those who need it most.
