ArtCares for Kids and the KB Creative Sewing Group recently joined together to create and collect thoughtful gifts for ICUbaby.org families.

ICU baby is an amazing organization whose mission is to transform the NICU experience by providing a variety of resources that directly support families with babies in the NICU.

Their generous donation included onesies, bibs, socks, and these beautiful handmade baby blankets.

Both groups believe in the power of neighbors coming together to actively support families in need. The Key Biscayne Community Foundation is proud to celebrate this heartfelt community collaboration and the comfort it will bring to families experiencing the NICU.

Thank you to these talented and compassionate volunteers for wrapping the families served by ICU baby in comfort, care, and love. 🧵🩵

Help Protect Key Biscayne's Shorebirds!🐦 A day at the beach can do more than create lasting memories. It can help protect some of the world's most incredible migratory birds.

The Key Biscayne Community Foundation is proud to support the Crandon Park Shorebird Project, led by Tropical Audubon Society in partnership with Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces.

Crandon Park provides an essential habitat for migratory shorebirds, including Sanderlings, Semipalmated Plovers, and the federally threatened Piping Plover. Many of these birds travel thousands of miles from Arctic breeding grounds before arriving on the shores of Key Biscayne.

On June 10, KBCF was pleased to present a grant supporting this important initiative to Tropical Audubon Society Education Director Daniel Mlodozeniec and Board Member Karen Beber Futernick (pictured). This funding will help expand community science efforts that improve our understanding of how shorebirds use Crandon Park and inform future conservation and habitat protection.

You can be part of the effort. Simply download the iNaturalist app and record your shorebird sightings while visiting Crandon Park. 

Every observation contributes valuable data that helps identify critical habitat, guides conservation efforts, and supports measures to reduce disturbances to these remarkable birds.

Together, we can help ensure that Key Biscayne remains a safe haven for migratory shorebirds for generations to come.
