The Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation Launches Passing the Joy Tampa for Holiday Season

This December, the Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation is expanding its holiday ‘Passing the Joy’ event with the launch of ‘Passing the Joy Tampa’, a community-wide movement to inspire kindness, generosity, and support for families and programs across Tampa Bay.

For the past six years, Baker and Emily Mayfield have hosted their annual Passing the Joy event, a day of giving to youth and families in need during the holiday season. This year, the Foundation will expand the event to invite organizations, families, and individuals across Tampa Bay to come together throughout December to pass their own joy and give back to those who need it most.

“We’ve seen firsthand how incredible things can happen when a community rallies together, and ‘Passing the Joy Tampa’ allows all of us to play a part in lifting those who could use extra support this season,” said Baker Mayfield.

Emily Mayfield added, “Our goal for ‘Passing the Joy Tampa’ is that this becomes more than a single event; it becomes a movement that inspires companies, families, and individuals to do their own acts of kindness, big or small, as they truly make a difference.”

‘Passing the Joy Tampa’ will take place throughout the holiday season, with the Mayfield’s hosting their own event on December 16, with the Dream Center of Tampa Bay as the beneficiary.

How Passing the Joy Tampa Works

Throughout December, the Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation invites others in the community to join in spreading joy, hope, and support to those in need this holiday season.

Choose a way to make an impact, then share the joy across social media using #PassingtheJoyTampa to inspire others to join the movement.

Ways to ‘Pass the Joy’ include paying off the layaway of foster youth, providing meals for shelters, reading to kids in schools, buying coffee for the person behind you, or creating “joy bags.”
