WHO IS SANDESTIN FOUNDATION FOR KIDS?

The Sandestin Foundation for Kids was founded in 2011 by the owners of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, the Becnel Family. • The structure of the organization allows for funds to be gifted to children and families quickly to provide support when it is needed most. • 100% of funds go to children and families. SDFK is completely volunteer based, so $1 of every $1 donated or raised for the Foundation goes directly to children in need. • The goal of the foundation is to support causes or organizations which have the most meaningful impact and which make the most positive difference in the lives of children.
