The LBA Children and Families Foundation was officially established in 2007 to formalize, coordinate and broaden Latin Builders Association’s already extensive involvement and enduring commitment to various South Florida philanthropic activities.
Since the LBA’s commencement in 1971, our association has made every effort to convey its appreciation to the flourishing community that embraces and supports the construction industry by rendering assistance to those less fortunate.
For nearly three decades prior to the establishment of the LBACFF, we actively collaborated in local charitable efforts, such as La Liga Contra El Cáncer, and organized events like the Annual Bike Drive to provide children from Miami’s most disadvantage neighborhoods with a very special treat for the holidays.
