Dive Into Purpose: Local Leaders Unite Philanthropy, Health, and Water Safety at ISHOF

On November 18th, the International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) will host Dive Into Purpose — an evening that brings together leading voices in philanthropy, health, and education for a powerful roundtable conversation on giving with impact.

Presented by Fiduciary Trust International (FTI), the event will feature leaders from the Dan Marino FoundationEvery Child a Swimmer (ECAS), the Community Foundation of Broward, and the Autism Society of Florida. Together, they’ll explore how collaboration across causes like autism support, children’s health, and water safety can create meaningful, lasting change.

Set against the backdrop of ISHOF’s signature Dive Show, and attended by many of South Florida’s most engaged philanthropists, Dive Into Purpose will highlight how partnerships between nonprofits, community leaders, and the private sector can inspire generosity and strengthen our community.

“This evening is about bringing people together who care deeply about making a difference — and showing what happens when we align philanthropy with purpose,” said Matt McKean, Wealth Director at Fiduciary Trust International and event moderator. “It’s an opportunity to spark ideas, connect changemakers, and inspire a culture of giving.”

“We’re honored to host this event at ISHOF, which sits at the heart of our community’s legacy in swimming and water safety,” said Amy Cumming, Executive Director of the International Swimming Hall of Fame. “By joining forces with organizations like the Dan Marino Foundation and ECAS, we can extend that mission to reach even more families.”
