Who doesn’t love a free burger? In October 2026, Attorney Edward Reyes teamed up with Mr. Tampa Bay at TNT Burger in Tampa to hand out free burgers and spend some time with the community. There was no purchase required. People could stop by, grab a burger, and enjoy some good food while getting to know the people around them. It was another fun event for our #ReyesGivesBack initiative, and we were happy to be part of it. Free Burgers and Good Company at TNT Burger TNT Burger welcomed Edward, Mr. Tampa Bay, and local residents for a burger giveaway in October. Throughout the event, Edward helped hand out burgers, chatted with guests, and spent time getting to know the people who stopped by. Meanwhile, the TNT Burger team was busy preparing food and serving customers. It was great to see everyone enjoying their burgers and spending time together. We also got to see the TNT Burger team doing what they do best. Events like this give us a chance to step away from our usual work, meet more of our Tampa neighbors, and enjoy some of the local businesses that make our city special. If you haven’t tried TNT Burger yet, you can find them at 7206 N. Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33614. Stop by, grab a burger, and show some love to a local Tampa business! Supporting Tampa’s Local Restaurants We love Tampa’s local food scene, and we’re always happy to find ways to support the restaurants and people behind it. That’s part of the reason we started our Community Giveaway Series with Mr. Tampa Bay. Through these events, we visit local restaurants, give away food, and encourage people to check out businesses in their own community. The TNT Burger giveaway is one example. We’ve also participated in a free lumpia giveaway at The Lucky Tigre on Howard Avenue in Tampa. We hope these events introduce more people to restaurants they might not have visited before. And of course, we get to enjoy some great food along the way! More Ways We’re Giving Back in Tampa The TNT Burger giveaway is just one of the ways we’re getting involved in our community through #ReyesGivesBack. At The Reyes Firm, we enjoy supporting local schools, recognizing people who make a difference, and taking part in events that bring Tampa residents together. We know there are many people and organizations doing great things around Hillsborough County, and we’re happy to do our part whenever we can. Want to see what else we’ve been up to?

Going back to your old high school feels a little different when you’re the one standing in front of the students, sharing what you’ve learned since graduation. For Attorney Edward Reyes, that moment came in November 2026 when he returned to Leto High School, where he graduated in 1998. He spent time with the school’s football team, talking about the challenges he faced growing up, the people who helped him along the way, and what it takes to work toward your goals. He also had something else to share: a $1,000 sponsorship from The Reyes Firm to support the Leto Falcons football program as part of our #ReyesGivesBack initiative. Back at Leto High School Edward didn’t shy away from talking about his own high school experience. He told the players he wasn’t always the best student. In fact, he joked about one teacher who once told him, “Eddie, if you stop talking, I’ll pass you.” He also talked about becoming a father at a young age and how that experience changed the way he looked at life. It wasn’t easy, but it made him think more seriously about his future and the kind of life he wanted to build. Growing up, Edward didn’t have many mentors to turn to. He eventually found encouragement through motivational speakers whose recordings helped him see things differently. Today, Edward runs The Reyes Firm in Tampa. But he remembers what it was like to be a student trying to figure out what comes next. That’s one reason talking with students means so much to him. What Edward Shared With the Leto Falcons Edward talked about football, but much of what he shared applied to life outside the sport, too. Here are three things he encouraged the players to remember. 1. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help Edward reminded the players that they don’t have to figure everything out on their own. Coaches, teachers, parents, and mentors can offer advice when things get tough. Sometimes, all it takes is asking someone who’s been through a similar situation. “Never feel like you can’t ask for help,” he told the team. He encouraged the players to learn from the people around them and find mentors who can help them grow. 2. Learn to Love the Process One phrase Edward kept coming back to was “love the process.” He compared working toward goals in life to getting better at football. Nobody becomes a great player overnight. It takes practice, repetition, discipline, and a willingness to listen to your coaches. The same goes for school, work, and anything else you want to accomplish. Edward encouraged the students to focus on the work they’re putting in each day instead of getting caught up in how quickly they’re reaching their goals. 3. Take Big Goals One Step at a Time Edward also encouraged the players to try new things and learn different skills, even if they haven’t figured out what they want to do after high school. He shared an old saying about eating an elephant one bite at a time. His point was simple. Big goals can feel overwhelming, but they become easier to tackle when you break them into smaller steps. He reminded the players that they don’t need to have everything figured out right now. What matters is continuing to learn, trying new things, and being willing to step outside their comfort zones. A $1,000 Sponsorship for the Leto Falcons Near the end of his visit, Edward presented a $1,000 sponsorship check to the Leto Falcons football coach on behalf of The Reyes Firm. The sponsorship was part of #ReyesGivesBack, our initiative to support local schools, families, and community organizations. For Edward, it was especially meaningful to give back to the same school he attended years ago. We were glad to support the football program and the work these players and coaches put in throughout the season. Go Falcons! Giving Back to the Tampa Community Leto wasn’t the first local event we’ve had the chance to support, and we hope it won’t be the last. Through #ReyesGivesBack, The Reyes Firm has supported food giveaways, back-to-school events, holiday programs, and other community activities around Tampa. Edward also enjoys visiting schools and speaking with students because he knows how much the right advice at the right time can help. During his talk at Leto, he shared that if even one student walks away with something that changes how they think about their future, that alone can make the visit worthwhile. We hope the players took something useful from the conversation, just as we’re grateful for the chance to spend time with them. You can see more of what we’ve been doing in the community on our Reyes Gives Back page. Thank You, Leto Falcons! A big thank you to Leto High School, the football coaches, and the players for welcoming Edward back. It was great to see him return to the school where his own journey started and have the chance to encourage the next generation of Falcons. We’re rooting for the team and wish the players all the best, both on and off the field. If your school or community organization is planning an event or would like to invite Edward to speak, we’d love to hear from you. The Reyes Firm 4730 N.
