We Support our Amazing Key West Community

We’re sometimes asked what it’s like to live in Key West. There’s something for everyone, we say. First of all, making friends is exceptionally easy, because there just aren’t that many grocery stores!

This island city offers diverse opportunities to join a group activity or support a charitable organization, or help with a local fundraiser.

You’ll find Cory and Jeffrey out and about town at most local events. Both are huge enthusiasts of the cultural and arts communities in Key West, supporting the Waterfront Playhouse, The Fringe, and the Studios of Key West for the performing, visual and creative arts. Cory and Jeffrey also stand solidly behind children’s organizations, actively supporting the Boys and Girls Club as well as Special Olympics of the Florida Keys.
