Peter Scaglione, Jr

President

Sports Club of Tampa Bay

Since its founding in 1961, as the Bayshore Optimist Club, the Sports Club of Tampa Bay has provided over 1 million dollars to youth, charitable organizations, and especially the Boys and Girls Club of Tampa Bay.

Our annual Hall of Fame Banquet each March, in which we induct local and professional sports legends from the Tampa Bay area into the Hall of Fame, raises thousands of dollars for the Boys and Girls Club.

In addition, the Club recognizes the University of South Florida and the University of Tampa. The Club provides monetary donations to both Universities.

The Sports Club can only accomplish our mission with your help and membership. We meet at least once per month at the plush Tampa Club in downtown Tampa and our dinner meetings are comprised of exciting local and national sports figures that speak to us at the meetings. You will never be disappointed. We look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming dinner meetings because it is through your efforts that we can continue to serve the needs of our youth and the next generation in Tampa Bay.
