Mike Evans Foundation Stops Local Fundraising Events
March 25th, 2026
Joe’s been asked for an opinion multiple times about whether Mike Evans will continue hosting events in the Tampa Bay area to raise money for his foundation.
An answer landed in Joe’s inbox today from the Mike Evans Family Foundation. That answer is, No.
The message went out to what seems like a Foundation e-mail list. (Joe is a past donor, so Joe periodically receives Foundation correspondence).

Moving forward, we are no longer planning to host fundraising events and this summer in Galveston, we will host our last Free Youth Football Camp. From this point on, Mike and Ashli will dedicate foundation resources primarily to the foundation’s Annual Scholarship Program, which has awarded over $800,000 in college scholarships to students around the country since 2017.
This shift means funding previously used for programs like our youth football camps and holiday events will now go directly toward helping more students attend the college of their dreams. The Mike Evans Family Foundation will continue to be supported through major annual gifts from Mike and Ashli and through the funds raised from past events and dedicated supporters throughout the years. No matter how you’ve supported our mission, thank you for being part of this community.
Evans is making big changes in his life this year, like bolting the Bucs for the 49ers. And among them is ending in-person fundraising in Tampa and beyond.
