Voices for Children is one of Tampa’s greatest treasures. Thousands of children are trapped each year in hopeless home life situations. A large majority of these abandoned, neglected, and abused children find themselves in the judicial with no one to express their needs and requests. Voices for Children- Guardian Ad Litem helps to make the connection between the child and the system. Under the direction of Executive Director Lisa Semeyn, Voices is now assisting more than 3 times as many children then just a few years ago, but hundreds of kids are still not being helped. With a goal of achieving 100% representation for Tampa area children, Voices has had significant help from the 13 Ugly Men Foundation. Voices’ 6th Annual Champion for Children Award was presented to the group during their ceremony at the Renaissance Hotel at International Plaza. President Teresa Stinson presented the award to 13 Ugly Men Foundation President Jon Wax and to all of the members of the foundation. Foundation Member, Dr. Randy Feldman of Feldman Orthodontics also serves on the Board of Voices for Children and was the recipient of the award in 2006.
