ST. PETERSBURG -- There was a time when the Rays and their public relations team were working overtime in an effort to repair the broken ties with the community. Even then, big announcements were met with a smattering of reporters at best.
On Tuesday, the Batters' Eye Restaurant was teeming with media, well-wishers and award recipients, a testament as much to American League champion Tampa Bay's success this season as to the Rays Baseball Foundation's ongoing relationship with the community. The foundation awarded a total of $150,000 to three local nonprofit organizations through the club's All-Star Grant during Tuesday's event. Click here to read the rest of this article.

Kids in “Friends for Florida” presented $650 toClearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) to help take care of its rescued sea turtles. The group, made up of middle school studentsfrom Pasco and Hillsborough Counties, was started by friends who wanted to raise awareness about environmental issues. To raise the money, the kids held garage sales, lemonade stands, recycled aluminum cans and collected money outside of a local Wal-Mart. The donated money will go toward medical supplies for sea turtles at CMA. CMA Sea Turtle Manager Danielle O’Neil said, “We truly appreciate selfless individuals such as these who help us take care of our sea turtles. We couldn’t do what we do without amazing community support like this.” “Friends for Florida” was founded in 2007 by the Mark family of Lutz. They have also raised $2,050 for Save Our Seabirds, Tampa Bay Watch and Big Cat Rescue. The group has also taken part in various clean-up and recycling efforts.

More than 350 “Bigs” & “Littles” to Enjoy a Rock Star Experience
Largo, FL (September 22, 2010)- Limousines, red carpet, volunteer paparazzi and star themed activities will all be a part of Big Brothers Big Sisters annual match appreciation event. The evening will honor volunteer mentors and others involved with the organization including volunteers of the year, children served through the program, and event sponsors. Attendees will be greeted by volunteer paparazzi as they exit limousines and parade down a red carpet. Once inside Mahaffey Theater the star experience will continue as guests will create their own Hollywood Star; dance to the hippest DJ; participate in other star themed activities; and enjoy food provided by Outback Steakhouse and Pepsi.
Because of the urgent need for volunteer mentors, this event will double as a recruitment opportunity for the organization. There are currently more than 200 children on the waiting list for a “Big Brother” or “Big Sister.” Attendees are encouraged to bring a guest that might consider volunteering as a “Big.” Big Brothers Big Sisters of Pinellas County matches an adult volunteer (a “Big”) with a youth (a “Little”) based on common interests, convenient location, and goals. The tri-county agency serves on average 1,500 children a year throughout Pinellas, Hernando, and Citrus Counties.
“Positive relationships with caring adults can have a lasting impact on a child’s life,” said Susan Rolston, Chief Executive Officer. “We are overwhelmed by the dedication and support of our volunteers. We hope to provide an evening that both the volunteer and child will remember for a lifetime.”

Here is more news about our #1 baseball team - the Tampa Bay Rays:
Tampa Bay positioned itself for a big finish. Look who has the best record in baseball (hint: They don't play in the AL East). If it's Friday -- actually, just about any day -- there must be a change atop the NL West.
Thursday's heroes
Another shutout for the Giants, their second in three nights at Chicago, but Juan Uribe made that a minor factor in the 13-0 victory that helped San Francisco jump over San Diego into the NL West lead, the fifth time those two teams have swapped spots in the past seven days. Uribe hit two homers, including a grand slam, and drove in six runs in a nine-run second inning. San Francisco's 19-hit outburst began against Ryan Dempster, who had a 14-inning shutout streak entering the game. The seven hits off Dempster in 15 batters were as many as he had allowed in the 14-inning streak. In their past nine games, the Giants have scored two or fewer runs six times. They have 10, nine and 13 in the other three games.
Carl Crawford's two-run single, his second hit of the inning, capped a seven-run sixth against CC Sabathia and Joba Chamberlain as the Rays beat the Yankees 8-3 to split the four-game series in New York. Tampa Bay is back within a half-game of the Yankees, who won the first two games of the series. B.J. Upton's two-run double greeted Chamberlain after Sabathia left trailing 4-3 and the bases loaded. The victory also gives the Rays the season series against New York, 10-8, which would decide the AL East if the two teams tie.
