PETERSBURG — Tampa attorney Ed Koren, Humana, Florida Blue and the Dimmitt family — who own several auto dealerships in the Tampa Bay region — are just a few of the donors that marshaled their resources in support of the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay, which in less than a month has been able to disburse more than $2 million to nonprofit organizations that provide relief to people affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
