Big Heart

The Big Heart Luncheon is a Valentine-themed festive gathering of colleagues, friends, and neighbors hosted by the Kenwood Education Foundation to publicly honor those who have made exceptional contributions of time, resources and energy to the children of Kenwood and the community-at-large. Each year, KEF solicits nominations from the community for “Big Hearts” -- individuals, families, groups or businesses who make a difference in the community, and in the lives of children in particular, by volunteering their time, skills and energy over and over again. Reservations for this entertaining weekday luncheon will be taken in early January. Please join us in celebrating the spirit of volunteerism that so enriches our community.
