MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, July 1, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Miami Youth for Christ’s Executive Director Tia Diaz-Balart announced that Keyes made a $25,000 donation in support and recognition of at-risk youth in Miami-Dade County. The Keyes Company is headed by CEO Mike Pappas, with Scott Cabrera serving as the Director of Philanthropy.

“Our kids today face uncertainty and often hopelessness as they see what is going on around them. The programs we offer are specifically designed to target lost teens. We are extremely grateful to the Keyes Company for their generous donation and their continued leadership in supporting the hurting youth in our community. Over the past eight years, The Keyes Company has been directly responsible for raising nearly $1 million through their generous hosting of our annual Over the Edge events and we couldn’t be more grateful for them.” said Mrs. Diaz-Balart.

“Our children are such a cherished part of our community,” said Mr. Pappas, “and they have so many gifts to offer. With the excellent leadership and mentorship programs at Miami Youth for Christ, we firmly believe in being a core partner to help these deserving youth achieve their full potential.”
