Lance N. Becatti
For years, Lance Becatti, Private Wealth Advisor with Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC, has been a dedicated supporter of Pinellas PAL. Through his leadership and generosity, he has supported our annual breakfast fundraiser as one of our highest-level sponsors while also inspiring his team and clients to collect backpacks and school supplies for our annual Back to School Event, helping equip hundreds of students and support an event serving nearly 1,000 children and families each year. Lance and his team also brought our “Reaching for the Stars” mural to life by covering the project costs and joining our staff, client volunteers, and PAL youth for a memorable day of painting and community connection. We are incredibly grateful for Lance’s continued partnership and investment in our youth.
