The Service Club of Manatee County, located in Bradenton, FL, is a united group of women with a heartfelt mission to support underprivileged children in the county. With a rich history dating back to 1927, the club raises funds through private donations and their annual For the Love of Children Gala, the only fundraiser they host. All proceeds go towards providing essential support such as food, shelter, clothing, health services, and educational services to children in need.

The club's Grant Program Committee meticulously evaluates grant requests from local non-profit organizations dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged children and presents their recommendations to the membership for final approval. In 2022 alone, the Service Club distributed a remarkable $135,000 across 29 agencies and programs serving the needs of children in Manatee County. On March 25, 2023, they will host their annual fundraising event, themed Boots & Bling, which promises to be a lively outdoor affair.
