Nearly 75 education supporters gathered last week at Key Colony Shopping Center to celebrate $80,000 in awards funded by the fourth annual Dominos for Education event.<\/p>\n

The fundraiser supports the Liberty City Scholarship Fund, founded by longtime Key Biscayne residents Bill and Toby Rohrer. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, Cristo Rey High School received $30,000, the Miami Dade College Foundation received $40,000 and the Rotary Club of Key Biscayne received $10,000 to expand students\u2019 educational opportunities, or as Bill calls it, \u201cthe domino effect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since its founding, the fund has donated nearly $500,000 and helped 77 students pursue a college education.<\/p>\n

Organizers thanked Key Colony Plaza manager Mercy Valle and Jos\u00e9 Castellanos of Kebo and Kebo\u2019s Corner for providing the space; Andrew Britton of the Key Biscayne Community Foundation, Luciano Guala and Natalia Palma of Michele & Associates for helping prepare the celebration; and Novecento Key Biscayne for supplying linens and other materials.<\/p>\n

The fifth annual Dominos for Education is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 16, 2027. To buy tickets or donate, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
