Every summer, thousands of kids in Florida never learn to swim. In underserved communities, that gap is even wider — and the consequences can be devastating.

That's why Lealman Exchange offers free swim lessons AND lifeguard certification prep training — because water safety isn't a luxury. It's a life skill.

We're grateful to partners in the community helping us drive momentum forward on this important program!

This National Water Safety Month, help us spread the word. 💧

From the Lealman Exchange Community Center — a thriving hub serving thousands of Pinellas County residents every year — to the revitalization of the St. Pete Science Center currently under construction, we have a track record of turning bold civic visions into lasting community assets.

We don't just fund ideas. We manage them, operate them, and pour ourselves into making sure they deliver for the people who need them most.

That's been our commitment to St. Pete for years. And we're just getting started.
