Key Biscayne Mothers Lead Philanthropic Efforts to Transform Community
In Key Biscayne, a group of mothers is leading significant philanthropic efforts to improve their community. Malena Legarre, co-founder of Hermanos de la Calle, has been instrumental in creating a network to support unhoused individuals in Miami. Her initiative began as a family project, involving her eight children in community service. Similarly, Amarylli Fridegotto, founder of the Key Biscayne Piano Festival and Academy, has been nurturing young musicians while fostering a cultural presence on the island. Melissa White, Executive Director of the Key Biscayne Community Foundation, balances her role in a major nonprofit with raising her family, emphasizing the importance of community support. These women, along with others like Barbara Diaz and Laura Teran Zapata, co-founders of It Takes a Village, are reshaping Key Biscayne through their dedication to service and inclusion.
