Six New KBCF Funds

Key Biscayne Community Foundation is proud to announce six (6) new funds of recent vintage:

Key Biscayne Athletic Fund and partnership with the Key Biscayne Athletic Club (KBAC): The fund will be available to donors that would like to make a special contribution which will benefit youth sports on Key Biscayne by providing scholarships for need-based families to play sports, bringing additional safety to Key Biscayne youth sports through first aid and coaching training and providing additional capital improvements that enhance the safety of children on the key -- as well as other safety and good will initiatives. The fund is immediately available for donations. "I am very excited about this new partnership with the Key Biscayne Community Fund and the KBAC. As the KBAC has evolved it's mission to sports volunteerism and fundraising, this new relationship could not be more appropriate." says John Lombardi, Key Biscayne Athletic Club, President. "The KBAC has been serving Key Biscayne Youth Sports since 1971 with a long history of community sports involvement." You can reach John at or visit the athletic club's website at www.kbacfl.org.
