“People are in the League because they want to do good.”

Gwynne Young is the embodiment of her statement, exhibiting the desire to make positive change in every volunteer opportunity she approaches. What comes to the forefront among all Gwynne’s efforts is a passion to make a difference for those in our community who need an advocate. Gwynne, an attorney and shareholder with Carlton Fields, was Hillsborough County’s first female prosecutor, the first female assistant state attorney, and a former President of both the Hillsborough and the Florida Bar Associations.

Gwynne learned critical skills - how to work with a group to accomplish a goal, how to work with boards, how to fundraise, how to effectively position your organization - through her training with The Junior League of Tampa, where she’s been a member for over 40 years.

Gwynne joined the League in 1976 and reached an apex when she served as its President from 1985-1986. Gwynne is once again serving in a key leadership role within the organization as the Junior League of Tampa’s Sustainer at Large. Just as Tampa is changing and growing, Gwynne says that “the League is changing, and you want people - members, sustainers and the community - to stay connected through those changes.” Never one to shy away from leadership or a challenge, Gwynne has fully embraced her position and hopes to continue to see the League grow, serve others, and continue developing to serve the Tampa community. Robin DeLaVergne Sustainer of the Year 2016-2017

Robin DeLaVergne’s achievements are many, but they all share a common thread: a desire to serve others and make her community a better place. Robin says she learned the importance of making an impact through her service as a League volunteer.

Robin joined The Junior League of Tampa as a Provisional in 1974 and served as its President from 1989-1990. Robin says she is most proud of initiatives like Ronald McDonald House, MORE Health, Champions for Children, and Baby Bungalow - all projects started by the League that grew exponentially to become fully fledged and operational organizations and programs in the community. Robin says that the League’s biggest impact on her professional life was the training she received. Robin was able to actively work in fundraising and public affairs through the League, skills which ultimately still serve her today in her role as the Executive Director of the Tampa General Hospital Foundation.

Robin emphasizes the importance of volunteer and leadership training within the League, which she credits with much of her success in her professional career. “For a successful relationship, it’s not just about what members can give to their organization in terms of volunteer time; it’s also what the organization can offer to its members.”

“Training and leadership opportunity for women is one of the most important legacies of The Junior League of Tampa.”

With a hashtag of #90for90, Provisionals, Actives, and Sustainers documented their efforts over the year. The League seeks to create a supportive, safe environment that encourages the continuous development of women to reach their highest potential as civic and community leaders, making this anniversary campaign such a success.

LOVE BUNDLES One of the League’s most impactful yearly community projects is Love Bundles. Love Bundles is a partnership between The Junior League of Tampa, Eckerd Kids, and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Every year, volunteers from The Junior League of Tampa pack thousands of backpacks, which are then distributed to children in crisis via the Sheriff’s Office. Love Bundles focuses on providing backpacks to children within the first 24 hours of removal from their home due to neglect or abuse.

League member Nicole Gitney has witnessed the powerful impact of a Love Bundles backpack firsthand. Ten years ago as Nicole was beginning her nursing career, she was working a shift in the emergency room when a three-year-old child was brought in. The toddler came from a situation of suspected child abuse. Nicole looked at the child and noticed a Love Bundles backpack. Nicole says the child clung to the backpack and wouldn’t let it go; she even watched the child read a book from the backpack while waiting to be seen. Nicole was overcome with emotion, but also overwhelmed with joy to see the work of The Junior League of Tampa in action.

In 2016-2017, the Love Bundles committee distributed 1,514 backpacks to children in need. The League’s Love Bundles committee also partners with Eckerd to provide a closet of clothing and other essentials for children transitioning between foster care families.
