Kids and Kubs have a history of assisting local charities in fundraising. The ninety-five-year-old organization, known corporately as the Three-Quarter Century Club, has provided donations to such local charities as Boys and Girls Club of America, Day Star Life, Friends of the Sunshine Center, Habitat for Humanity, Neighborly Care Network, St Petersburg Free Clinic, St Pete Police Athletic League, Suncoast Hospice, and St Pete TASCO Teens Center Programs.
Charities vary yearly and have been presented since 1981 at the annual Mayor’s Game, occurring annually in February.
The Club’s Trust Fund, established in 1981, generates funding for these donations. The Club is a 501 (c) (3) Corporation that contributors become a part of The Kids and Kubs “Legacy.”
The very early years of fundraising occurred in a far different manner. Club archives tell of “pass the hat donations.” After and during the game, revenue goes to the designated charity for the day. St Petersburg’s nationally famous softball club for those aged 75 and over.
