KBCF & Edu Foundation join the Zero Drownings Miami-Dade Initiative

Key Biscayners, Olga Londoño and Eduardo Fernandez, tragically lost their 15th month old son Edu to a drowning. In the months and years that followed, they channeled their unimaginable grief into building the Edu Foundation. Their hope is to create education and awareness around drowning, so that other families don’t have to know their pain. The Community Foundation is honored to serve as the fiscal sponsor of the Edu Foundation.

Yesterday, KBCF and the Edu Foundation joined the largest collaboration ever created in Miami-Dade County to make Zero Drownings a reality. 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 will provide 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.
