The Bubba the Love Sponge Foundation is a 501(c) (3) Florida charity that Bubba founded in 2008 to help raise awareness and channel donations to worthy community causes and victims. On July 14, the foundation presented $45,000 in funds raised for the families of three Florida law enforcement officers who were killed this year in the line of duty in St. Johns County, Dixie County and Miami. Previously, more than $50,000 was distributed to the families of four Tampa Bay area law enforcement members who lost their lives or were critically injured in the line of duty.
