ABILITIES GUILD

 
The Abilities Guild was founded in 1980 with a mission to:

Serve as ambassadors broaden the base of community awareness of the availabilities and function of the Abilities Foundation

Support the Abilities Foundation in its fund raising events and campaign efforts 

Serve in any other capacity deemed advisable in assisting the Abilities Foundation to work on behalf of people with disabilities

The Guild is a volunteer organization consisting of more than one-hundred men and women actively supporting the Abilities Foundation and its work benefiting people with disabilities. Guild members routinely serve as volunteers for the Foundation's events in the Tampa Bay area, including the annual Abilities Wine Tasting and monthly wine dinners. That amounts to more than 6,000 of volunteer hours annually.

Last year ther Guild contributed $33,000 to the Foundation’s general fund. Since its inception, the Guild has been credited with donating more than $2 million to the Foundation. This year's proceeds will support Abilities' job placement services for disabled veterans returning from duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
