The FASTSIGNS® of South Tampa team was recognized at the 2025 FASTSIGNS International Convention for their giveback work with The Heart Gallery of Tampa as part of FASTSIGNS' "Show Us How You Care" philanthropic initiative. As a result, they received a $1,000 check to donate to their charity of choice, which they recently delivered to The Heart Gallery of Tampa.
In 2024, the team at FASTSIGNS helped host fundraisers and advertised sponsoring foster children in Tampa on their marquee while also promoting them in-store. FASTSIGNS also became their official signage partners and later fabricated signs for their new office.
With the help of their customers, FASTSIGNS was able to provide meals for the summer for many of the foster children of the Heart Gallery, as well as sponsoring Christmas and birthday donations. Every season, the organization usually leads a different campaign to sponsor all the children they represent, and FASTSIGNS partners every year to help.
“We truly love to help our community, because this helps strengthen everyone. The Heart Gallery does many fantastic things for Tampa children in foster care,” said Kristin Craig with FASTSIGNS of South Tampa. “We are more than proud to help represent their organization and support their needs.”
In addition to the team at FASTSIGNS’s involvement, they also involve friends, family and social media friends, who become involved in the campaigns FASTSIGNS joins. Others will share links, donate themselves to the campaigns and help spread the word. Clients of FASTSIGNS also signed up to partner with the Heart Gallery.
“The Heart Gallery of Tampa is an outstanding local organization that plays a critical role in advocating for foster children who are in need of permanent, loving families. Their mission is deeply impactful, as they work tirelessly to increase the number of successful adoptions of children in foster care,” shared Kristin.
