Weekend Recap...

Here's a quick and simple recap of the weekend: It unfolded with calm and ease, leaving us with moments of quiet reflection. 🕊️

This Week...

In St. Petersburg, passionate teens have launched Teens Who Care St. Petersburg, aiming to create positive change through collective giving.

Modeled after 100 Women Who Care, the group gathers twice yearly at the St. Petersburg Woman’s Club.

At each meeting, three nonprofits pitch their work, and teens vote for the group to receive the coveted Impact Award grant.

Every teen donates $25, making their impact significant when pooled together.

The inaugural event in January drew around 130 students from Pinellas County schools.

That evening, Charlie’s Champs, which supports children with disabilities, received the first grant.

Led by President Simi Damani and Vice President Kate Nordby, the organization fosters youth engagement in philanthropy while exposing members to local challenges.

Teens Who Care inspires involvement by inviting peers to volunteer and hopes to see similar programs emerge elsewhere.

Looking for ways to make a real impact in Tampa Bay?

Volunteer at the Hillsborough County Fair from October 30 to November 9 and help with setup, running booths, or coordinating memorable activities.

Get involved at the SHINE St. Petersburg Mural Festival between November 1 and November 15. Volunteer by supporting artists, assisting with tours, or helping behind the scenes to enhance St. Pete’s creative landscape.

On November 22-23, the Tampa Bay Holiday Market at The Coliseum needs helping hands for guest services and vendor support, spreading festive spirit while lifting up local artisans.

At the 14th annual Ybor City Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 20, volunteer to manage crowds and serve refreshments at this heartwarming holiday gathering.

Lend support at the Tampa Bay History Center’s Annual Gala on November 14 by assisting with logistics and auction details to preserve Tampa’s rich heritage.

Every effort builds community — and your help truly matters.

St. Pete Boxing Club, a storied gym in St. Petersburg, is finally receiving long-overdue recognition.

For more than forty years, this club has quietly shaped world-class fighters, including Winky Wright and Keith Thurman, while serving as a haven for at-risk youth since its founding in 1982.

Now, 18-year-old filmmaker Charlie King, himself a dedicated boxer, brings its remarkable history to light through his documentary, “Successors of St. Pete: The St. Pete Boxing Club Story.”

The film premieres Tuesday at The Beach Theatre, featuring interviews with legendary alumni and capturing the gym’s gritty atmosphere, lined with vintage clippings and championship memories.

As anticipation builds, locals look forward to a tribute that honors the club’s unique legacy and continues to inspire St. Pete’s next generation of champions.

Business Buzz!

We are thrilled to announce St Petersburg Florida's latest business addition! 🌟 Stay tuned for exciting updates on community initiatives and opportunities in the heart of Palm Coast!

• Warehouse Arts District Flex Space Hits Market at $727,000
  
• Hot Foot: St. Pete-Inspired Shoe to Launch in March
  

A 2,368-square-foot industrial property at 2732 6th Avenue South in St. Petersburg’s lively Warehouse Arts District is on the market for $727,000.

Built in 1950, this fully air-conditioned concrete block building sits on a 0.14-acre lot and offers practical features like 220-volt power and a grade-level loading door, making it ideal for varied business needs.

Inside, the flexible open work area includes wood, tile, and travertine floors, along with a kitchen for added convenience.

Zoned Industrial Traditional (IT), the property supports diverse uses such as art studios, fabrication shops, or live-work arrangements, and was most recently home to 5 Star Gutters, LLC.

Sellers Montana Massa and Michael Heretick of Vector Commercial Real Estate highlight its major value growth since 2012, underlining this unique opportunity in St. Pete’s creative core.

Will and Joe Llewellyn are bringing a dream to life with the debut of their company, Moondeck, and its first product: the Lunar Tide 1 shoe.

Pre-orders began October 14 on a crowdfunding site, with the official launch set for March 2026.

Shoppers in St. Petersburg will find the shoes in local stores that same month.

The brothers’ journey started aboard their sailboat, Endoxi, docked at the St. Petersburg Municipal Marina.

As Minnesota natives with ties to St. Pete, the Llewellyns taught themselves to sail and explored the city—often swapping shoes for different activities.

Frustrated by the lack of versatile options, they created a slip-on shoe designed for the St. Pete lifestyle.

After years of development and a shift in manufacturing from Portugal to Vietnam, community support is strong: 500 pairs are already pre-ordered, and several stores are on board.

Their first batch will feature 2,000 pairs, fueling big ambitions for Moondeck’s future.
