You have a chance to make a difference, to give a gift to a community of children that spend summers at KBIA learning new skills, gaining new experiences, and making lifelong friendships. No donation is too small, and all contributions go towards your choice of scholarships, facilities, and/or the general fund:
- Scholarships: Help us keep the spirit of summer alive for children who are unable to attend KBIA without assistance. The David Sweetser & Tommy McNamara Charitable Foundation Scholarship Program is an endowed fund that annually bolsters scholarship donations at KBIA. Each year we have traditionally offered 14 to 20 children the opportunity to experience a KBIA summer — free of charge and discreetly issued. The impact of a summer spent swimming, sailing, and just “being a kid” has a lasting impression. If you know of someone who would benefit from our scholarship program, email [email protected] for consideration.
- Facilities: Our unique facility is located at the base of a small peninsula known as Lord’s Point between Mother’s Beach and a sheltered cove. Keeping up with building and property repairs, updates, and improvements is a constant project. We focus on making the campus safe, convenient, and enabling our classes to be the most they can be!
- General: Let us decide! This donation fund can be accessed for a multitude of projects for the benefit of KBIA summer enrichment activities.
