On March 24, Keiran Haywood graciously presented Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (PDE) with a $5,000 donation from the Morgan Family Foundation. Haywood is a senior at St. Mark’s High School. In addition to her studies and school activities, Haywood is a youth ambassador for the Morgan Family Foundation Youth Philanthropy Project. In this role, she identifies worthy causes to receive monetary donations from the foundation. Haywood takes her responsibility seriously and wanted to give to an organization whose work was meaningful to her.

Through her research, Haywood became aware of PDE’s mission of connecting people, science, and nature for a healthy Delaware River and Bay. Haywood truly believes animals and people need a healthy estuary for drinking water, industry, food, and fun. She loves the outdoors and animals and is sincerely concerned with conservation issues, feeling that we all have a responsibility to do our part to respect the planet and keep it healthy for generations to come.

Last year, during a youth retreat, Haywood participated in a beach cleanup and became greatly concerned by the condition of some of our local beaches because of careless people who left trash and other debris behind. She found it greatly rewarding to do her part to help keep our shorelines clean and became committed to this cause. Haywood is excited about the work PDE does and is proud to be able to provide the donation from the Morgan Family Foundation.
