One such program was Gameday For Kids. Game Day For Kids was a program that hosted more than 14,000 underprivileged kids at Buccaneers home games, it allowed the kids to spend time on the playing field, prior to games and cheer the Bucs from exclusive seats.

Over 20 years later, the Glazer Foundation is still going strong. Malcolm Glazer’s daughter, Darcie Glazer Kassewitz, is the co-president of the Glazer Foundation, and according to Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, is the most influential woman in Tampa Bay sports. She is actively continuing her work in the Tampa community that since it’s conception has donated millions of dollars supporting its cause. She also used her creativity to help design the Buccaneers facilities and had a hand in creating every detail of Raymond James Stadium’s interior, from the club seats, luxury suites, to the Lower Galley restaurant and she has done so much more. Greg Auman is correct in stating that she is the most influential woman in Tampa Bay sports.
