The Edu Foundation is a non-profit organization that strives to foster a culture of swim safety at a young age by providing free swimming lessons to underprivileged children. The Edu Foundation commemorates "Edu", a beautiful boy who was lost to accidental drowning at just 15-months of age. Edu's family created and endowed this foundation to ensure other families do not suffer a similar loss. The Edu Foundation perpetuates Edu's legacy by teaching kids how to enjoy the water responsibly and safely.

MISSION

Our mission is to provide free swimming instruction to underprivileged children in order to reduce the incidence of injury or death due to accidental drowning.

VISION

Our vision is to eradicate the scourge of accidental drowning by providing free swimming lessons to all children that need them.

On the evening of November 6th, we’re hosting a special fundraiser at La Cometa Gallery in Allapattah in support of the Edu Foundation’s local program—Zero Drownings Miami-Dade—a star initiative that has already benefited over 3,000 children and aims to reach more than 20,000 in the next two years. This life-saving program is dedicated to preventing childhood drownings through education, access, and community engagement across Miami-Dade’s most underserved communities.

Get ready for our exciting silent and live auctions!

The Edu Foundation is one of the programs of the Key Biscayne Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
