It's always a good thing when a business in the community gives back for the sake of those in need.  Element Luxury Apartments in Downtown Tampa has done just that and raised over $5,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Raising the funds through a charity event this past July, Element is vying to be a premier donor for this world class children's hospital.  The event featured a private auction with donated goods including a signed football by Bucs quarterback, Josh Freeman, as well as refreshments and appetizers from Stonechef Fusion Caterers and Edge Entertainment.  When all was said and done, the 100+ attendees at the event raised over $5,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through the silent auction and other means of donation.

Best of all, Element is doing it again come October 21 and you're invited.  They're shooting for over $10,000 this time so all the help they can get will surely be appreciated.  Mark it down on your calendar and head out to Element Luxury Apartments in Downtown Tampa on October 21, 2011 to support this great cause.  We'll keep you posted as more details are revealed.
