This is the second consecutive year in which PAL receives items from “Replay Tampa Bay.”
The “Replay Tampa Bay” drive encourages members of the community to assist local kids in need throughout the holiday season by donating new or gently used sporting goods at a designated drive location. The sporting equipment was donated by Bucs fans for the “Replay Tampa Bay” sporting goods drive which kicked off on December 8.
