The Krewe of Pandora was formed in May 1999 to provide a setting for women to socialize, network, mentor young women and provide charitable services to the community through fundraising and volunteerism. The membership of the Krewe of Pandora represents women from very diverse backgrounds, professions and age groups in the Tampa Bay and Pinellas areas as well as some long distance members.
Our charitable endeavors include collecting funds, donating needed resources and volunteer efforts for various charitable organizations at our monthly meetings. Some of the organizations that have received financial and/or volunteer support include: The Humane Society of Tampa Bay, The Children's Home, The Spring of Tampa Bay, Susan B Komen 3 Day Walk, The Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, Elves for the Elders, Migrant Ministries, A Gift for Teaching, The Ronald McDonald House and individuals in need in the community.
Our motto is "Making Hope a Reality". Pandora was chosen as our symbol because we feel she signifies hope and womanhood. (Plus it's a lot of fun being a goddess!) Our costumes are inspired by the Goddesses of ancient Greek mythology.
In addition to our charitible efforts we participate in many events throughout the Tampa Bay area. Some of the events we participate in include: Tampa's Gasparilla Pirate Festival and parade, The Krewe of San't Yago Ybor City Knight Parade, the St Patrick's Day Parade through Ybor City, The DeSoto Festival Parade, Springtime Tallahassee, and The Chasco Fiesta.
Our signature fundraising event is The Margarita Fest.
Silent and Live Auction funds raised during the Margarita Fest will benefit Kids Charity of Tampa Bay, a Kids Place and The Krewe of Pandora.
