St. Nicholas Community Center - 348 N Pinellas Ave, Tarpon Springs, FL 34689

JLP Forever, Inc. was born from love, loss, and friendship. After the passing of their dear friend, Joseph Pappas, a close-knit group of friends came together with a simple yet powerful mission: to honor Joseph’s life by carrying forward the love, compassion, and community spirit he embodied. United by grief but sustained by Joseph’s memory, they established JLP Forever, Inc. as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the goal of turning remembrance into impact.

 

Each year, the friends gather to celebrate Joseph’s life and share in his love for music. They select a cause to raise money for that they feel Joe would support. Last year it was Wounded Warriors Foundation.  This year they have selected St. Jude Children’s Hospital.  

 

Through these fundraising efforts, JLP Forever, Inc. transforms the deep loss of one friend into opportunities for healing, support, and connection for many others. What began as a way to honor Joseph now lives on as a growing commitment to ensure that his spirit of friendship, generosity, and love will forever echo in the lives of those they touch.
