The Key Biscayne Community Foundation

May is Water Safety Month, and the Key Biscayne Community Foundation is proud to partner with organizations that are making a difference in our community.

The EDU Foundation and Zero Drownings Miami Dade are saving lives!💙🌊

The Edu Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to promoting swim safety from an early age by providing free swim lessons to children in need. The foundation was founded by Key Biscayne residents Olga Londoño and Eduardo Fernandez, who lost their 15-month-old son, Edu, in a drowning accident.

Following the tragedy, they channeled their grief into raising awareness through swim instruction and water safety education. Last year, the foundation raised more than $300,000 to support lifesaving programs.

In 2024, the Edu Foundation joined Zero Drownings Miami-Dade, a groundbreaking water safety and swimming education program that provides thousands of young children with free swim lessons delivered through daily field trips from more than 100 schools and childcare centers throughout the county. Over the past two years, more than 33,000 swim lessons have been taught.

“KBCF and the Edu Foundation joined the largest collaboration ever created in Miami-Dade County to make Zero Drownings a reality,” said Melissa White, Executive Director of the Key Biscayne Community Foundation.

“Thanks to the leadership of The Children’s Trust, The Miami Foundation, United Way Miami, the American Red Cross, Miami-Dade County, and many more partners, the Zero Drownings Miami-Dade Initiative is providing essential water safety lessons to 20,000 four-year-old children enrolled in public and private early learning centers and Miami-Dade County Public Schools kindergarteners every year.”

Congratulations to all who participated in the 2026 Design and Architecture Senior High Architecture + Industrial Design Competition!🌟

This year’s project, The Journey, challenged students to rethink the Rickenbacker Causeway as a 2.5-mile sustainable linear park connecting Miami to Virginia Key, prioritizing public access, environmental responsibility, and community-centered design.

Working across architecture and industrial design, student teams developed proposals addressing pedestrian infrastructure, public space, transportation systems, and ecological impact.

The results were ambitious, thoughtful, and grounded in the realities of Miami’s environmental and cultural landscape. Congratulations to all participating students on reaching the final presentation.

The DASH: Young Designer Scholarship was created by Rosa de la Cruz and continues in her memory through the leadership and support of Carlos de la Cruz, Sr., the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Key Biscayne Community Foundation, Craig Robins and Jackie Soffer, the Milstein and Hankin Family Foundation, and the Horne Family Foundation, along with many other dedicated community leaders. This program is further supported by the generous contribution of Mary M. and Sash A. Spencer.
