Thank You for Supporting Tampa Bay Families
The Fran Haasch Law Group extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who made the 17th Annual Fran Haasch FEAST Food Drive a success. Each year, this event rallies volunteers, local businesses, community partners, and neighbors across the Tampa Bay area to provide vital support to families facing food insecurity. This tradition continues to reflect our commitment to compassion, service, and meaningful community impact.
For seventeen years, the Fran Haasch Food Drive has built on a legacy of generosity. In past drives, we have donated tens of thousands of pounds of food and essential funds to help families rebuild after hardship. Last year alone, we delivered more than 36,000 pounds of food, distributed $13,000 in checks and gift cards, and supported 134 families in a single afternoon.
This year’s 17th Annual FEAST Food Drive was our biggest yet. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, we collected nearly 60,000 pounds of food and more than $13,000 in donations, helping to feed over 2,400 local families for three to four days through our incredible partners at FEAST Food Pantry. Whether people donated a can, wrote a check, helped pack boxes, or simply showed up to support and encourage others, their kindness made a real difference.
Our goal remains the same: to meet real community needs with dignity, speed, and meaningful action.
Honoring Service and Advocacy
Last week, we headed to Washington D.C. to tackle the skyrocketing insurance costs affecting Floridians. During our visit, we were honored to meet with veterans from Mission 49 of the Honor Flight of West Central Florida at Arlington National Cemetery. Together, we experienced the solemn Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was a profound moment to stand with our nation’s heroes and salute the brave men and women who have served our country.
God Bless America and our veterans!

I am incredibly thankful for our biker community. I have met so many amazing people - friends that are charitable, friends that love our great country, friends that have each others backs, and friends that step up to support our neighbors in need. We blew away our Food Drive totals from last year: over 36,000 pounds of food and $13,000 in check and gift card donations!! And, it could not have come at a better time. The day we did the final dropoff was an all-time record for FEAST Food Pantry - 134 families fed in one afternoon. None of it would be possible without your support, for this, I am eternally thankful! Thank you, God Bless You, please have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
We love being an active part of the Tampa Bay community and are grateful for the support we’ve received over the last two decades. It’s truly an honor to work and live among friends and neighbors who never hesitate to help someone in need — whether it’s bikers collecting school supplies or first responders delivering bicycles. Fran Haasch Law Group Accident & Injury Lawyers has a long-standing commitment to serving and thanking our wonderful community through cash donations, food drives and community service. We’re dedicated to giving back to others because we’ve seen how the smallest amount can make a difference in someone’s life.
Another reason the biker community is the best! Thank you to everyone who contributed to #CerealForSummer: Florida Full Throttle Magazine, Rider Now Magazine, Moramoto of Tampa Bay, Anthony Cianci, Valerie Smith, Andrew Mora, Alina Mora, and our team at Fran Haasch Law Group Accident & Injury Lawyers. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. 🙏🥣❤️
Each month an average of 660 soldiers die by suicide. We aim to raise awareness of mental health for our veterans and military personnel. We’re so grateful for those who have served this country and hope this can start a conversation and bring hope to our military and veterans.
Wreaths Across America has been conducting Welcome Home ceremonies all across the great USA for the heroes that served in the Vietnam War. I was lucky enough to witness one for my good friend Patrick Bradley.
In the 2007 off-season, Alstott and his wife Nicole formed the Mike Alstott Family Foundation. The foundation’s mission is to uplift the minds, hearts and spirits of families and children on their way to realizing their full potential through various events, assistance programs and celebrations. The foundation works with various agencies and organizations in addition to helping individuals overcome life-altering obstacles.
Fran wouldn’t be here today without the kindness of strangers. Post-WWII, a family living on a farm in rural Wisconsin sent food and care packages to her grandmother, who lived at a refugee camp in Germany with her four young sons. The American family didn’t have much but gave everything they could – from tins of rice and Spam to burlap sacks used to make clothing and shoes. Fran’s family survived through the generosity of others — a fact that’s drastically shaped her worldview and she holds close to her heart.
While growing up, lessons played a big part in Fran’s life. Piano, ballet and violin lessons that is. While Fran didn’t love playing piano and 16 years of pliés and pirouettes didn’t make her a great dancer, the concentration and comprehension skills learned through classical violin training have helped her throughout life. She was fortunate to have access to these enrichment opportunities – and a mom who was happy to drive her all over the state – and knows the lasting impact arts and athletics have on kids’ lives.
Through the firm’s connection to the biker world, Fran has gotten to know police officers and firefighters throughout the community. Over the years, she’s seen their “huge hearts” and charitable giving on display at school supply drives and throughout the holidays. One of the most heartwarming experiences she has each year is buying bikes and toys and helping first responders deliver them to children on Christmas Eve.
A lifetime of allergies, asthma and genetic defects allows Fran to truly understand and empathize with those who have health challenges and compromised immune systems. It’s what makes her a medical Nancy Drew of sorts. She loves researching ways to help her clients get better – whether that’s combing through medical studies, watching surgeries on YouTube, or staying educated on the latest medical treatments and technologies.
After WWII ended, Fran’s father, Werner, was living in a German refugee camp with his recently widowed mom and three brothers. There was nothing to eat and the family fended off starvation by eating grass. One day, a kindhearted American soldier handed Werner half of his sandwich. Decades later, Werner still remembers that offering as “heaven,” and has passed his fondness and respect for veterans on to Fran.
Fran’s love for all creatures great and small goes back to childhood when she hung flyers around town advertising “Fran’s Free Animal Hospital.” She and her Dad worked in the garage, helping as many animals they could. These days, Fran and her family live with a menagerie of pets and rescue animals, including 3 dogs, 1 cat and a gerbil. And she’s still saving baby birds and other critters (with help from her three sons) while advocating for animals.
