Stories, reflections, and updates from Jason, Steven, and the board — the moments behind the partnerships, the people we meet along the way, and what we're learning as we go.
Steven Price reflects on his third consecutive year on the organizing committee of the Conine Golf Classic — the tournament that funds the Conine Clubhouse, the free refuge for parents of children being treated at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, and the quiet 30-year legacy of Mr. Marlin and his wife Cindy.
As we approach a decade since founding, Jason reflects on the moments that defined the foundation — and what's changed about how we see local philanthropy in South Florida.
It's strange to write the word "decade." When my father and I started the Price Family Foundation in 2016, we weren't thinking in those terms. We were thinking about one summer's gift drive, one playground for JAFCO, one foursome at the Conine Classic.
What I've learned is that local philanthropy compounds. The school you help one year sends a teacher to a charity gala the next. The rescue you sponsor introduces you to a family that's been quietly fostering for fifteen years. The community gets smaller, not bigger.
If there's one thing I'd tell anyone considering starting a family foundation: go small, go local, and stay in the room long enough that people stop being surprised to see you.
A day with the volunteers behind one of South Florida's quietest, busiest dog rescue operations — and why "supply deliveries" matter as much as cash.
It's 6:42 AM and someone has already triaged seven dogs since sunrise. Everglades Angel doesn't have a glossy gala. They have a constantly-ringing phone and a list of fosters whose homes are running out of crate space.
What we've learned working alongside them: a check helps, but a delivery of crates, food, and flea treatment at the exact right hour is what keeps the operation alive on a Tuesday morning.
Notes from this year's Boca Helping Hands Bowlerama — two generations of Prices, one strikingly average bowling score, and a record-setting food drive.
Steven scored a 142. I scored a 138. Boca Helping Hands raised enough to fund their food pantry for the better part of a quarter. The rankings are clear.
Every year I leave the Bowlerama reminded that fundraising doesn't have to feel like a board meeting. Sometimes it just has to feel like a Saturday.
A look at the Conine Clubhouse's three-decade legacy of housing the families of children being treated at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital — and why scale comes from sweat, not strategy.
When Mr. Marlin and his wife Cindy built the first clubhouse, the goal was modest: a place for a mom to nap when her kid was getting treatment three floors up. Thirty years later, it's been 25,000+ families. None of them planned to be there. All of them needed it.
That kind of scale isn't built by a strategy deck. It's built by 30 years of Saturday tournaments.
A Safe Haven for Newborns supports infants put up for adoption and the young mothers behind those decisions. It is the most consequential charity you've probably never heard of.
They don't market. They don't trend. They show up at hospitals, shelters, and apartment buildings with legal aid, medical care, and a soft place to land. We've supported their work for years and I still find myself learning about new corners of what they do every quarter.
On standing with Jack Bloomfield and the team working to build a permanent public memorial honoring the 17 victims of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
I knew Jack before I knew about the memorial. So when he told me what he was building — and why — there was nothing to think about. His children went to MSD. His wife taught nearby. He has carried this for years.
This is what local means. It's the person you already know building the thing that already matters.
A letter from the family of Andy, whose Make-A-Wish trip to Alaska we helped sponsor. It includes a photo of a moose, which is the only review you need.
The note that came back from Andy's family is one of the best things we've ever received. Sponsoring a single wish for a single kid is a small thing. But it isn't.
Behind the JAFCO partnership: why baby furniture and a playground set might be the most underrated gifts we've ever made.
JAFCO — Jewish Adoption & Family Care Options — places kids with families that are ready. Sometimes "ready" means emotionally ready. Sometimes it means having a crib. We try to help with the second part so the first part can do its work.
A clear-eyed look at the gap in South Florida services for children with disabilities, and why schools like Westlake are the closest thing to a structural answer we've found.
The headline number is staggering: 320,000+ children with disabilities in South Florida who need essential services. The follow-up question is harder: where, specifically, does money help?
Westlake School is one answer we keep coming back to. Specialized, accountable, transparent, and run by people we'd trust with anything.
