B3 Bash: A Night to Remember ๐ซง ๐ ๐ฅ
Last night was the annual B3 Bash: Bubbles, Bites, & Brews, and our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. Our Tallahassee community showed up and showed out, and the love we experienced is truly life changing. Along with our incredible sponsors, supporters, volunteers, and team members, it was a huge success that will fuel our impact for so many residents and families.
We raised our glasses. We raised our paddles. But most importantly, we raised money for a great cause. You helped us not only reach our donation goal, but greatly exceed it, and we could not be more grateful. The room was filled with passion, energy, and fire within to help others.
Because of your generosity, weโre able to continue providing safe, affordable housing for adults with a range of abilitiesโand making familiesโ dreams a reality. Hearing powerful testimonies and seeing our residents thrive was a reminder of the impact weโre making every day.
Thank you for being a part of something so special. ๐ We couldnโt have done it without you.

We are officially one day away from our annual B3 Bash, and our clubhouse is buzzing with excitement. The B3 Bash is more than a social gathering; it is a celebration of all that has been accomplished, and a toast to what is yet to come. In the two and a half years since our grand opening, we have strengthened our workforce development and culinary training program, opened The Press Cafรฉ, expanded life-enrichment opportunities, hosted countless experiences, gatherings, and trainings, shared moments that build confidence and connection, and most importantly, became home to 58 adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. All thanks to your support.
From early mornings to long nights, we absolutely could not have pulled this off without the help of our incredible committee members, staff, and volunteers. Each and every supporter plants a seed of hope, blooming into a confident, flourishing community here at IL, where B3 Bash attendees will be able to feel the magic upon entering. Thank you for helping us create something so special. ๐
We can`t wait to celebrate with you tomorrow night. ๐ซง๐ฝ๐ฅ

๐ Celebrating the Leaders Behind the Mission ๐
We are deeply grateful for the incredible individuals who guide, support, and believe in our work.
With heartfelt thanks to our Board of Directors, the B3 Bash Event Committee, and our visionary Founder, State Representative Allison Tant.
Your leadership makes everything we do at Independence Landing possible. Because of you, families no longer have to wonder, โWhat will happen to my child with IDD once Iโm gone?โ Instead, they have peace of mind - knowing their loved ones can live happy, healthy, and safe lives in a place they can truly call home.
Thank you for making this mission a reality. ๐ก๐

For over 30 years, The Beatitude Foundation has served the Big Bend community and beyond, focusing on education, philanthropy, and human services, while also providing sustainable housing solutions for individuals who are financially, socially, or institutionally disadvantaged. Overseen by Rick Kearney, The Beatitude Foundation has changed lives for marginalized groups living in Tallahassee. The Apalachee Center, Big Bend Homeless Coalition, and The Kearney Center are just a few of the community organizations that The Beatitude Foundation has had the pleasure of supporting. In 2018, Rick Kearney started #GiveTLH, a community effort underwritten by The Beatitude Foundation which spotlights local nonprofits, recognizing smaller, less-known organizations in our community who step up each day โ and make a big difference. โWe are proud to recognize them for doing incredible work in our Tallahassee community,โ Kearney says. โWe hope their stories will help inspire you to continue to find ways to give back, tooโ (Tallahassee Democrat, 2025).
We are incredibly grateful to be recognized by The Beatitude Foundation. Together, we can help provide independence to those who need it most. ๐
