Funds are utilized to enhance and expand the athletic programs and facilities at Coral Shores High School including programming costs related to personnel, equipment, travel, officials and security.
The lives of student athletes are impacted positively as they positively impact the lives of those served by the area agencies in the Upper Keys. Students learn far more from serving in afterschool programming or at a food pantry or soup kitchen than selling promotional items through fundraising initiatives.
The Upper Keys Foundation partners with major donors in order to provide the necessary financial resources for this revolutionary circular giving program where student athletes are moved from a traditional pay to play to a serve to play fundraising system.
The Upper Keys Foundation is dedicated to regularly sharing the positive impact stories of their program participants (teachers, staff, and students) through social media and newsletter updates as well as awarding rewards to program participants through recognition programming.
The leadership of Upper Keys Foundation, including both the board of directors and advisory board members, are dedicated to working with the leadership of the Coral Shores High School and area nonprofit agencies in order to promote the success of this revolutionary service-learning prototype, thus making serve to play and circular giving a new model for high school student-athlete programming throughout the nation.
