The Exchange Club of the South Brevard Beaches is the local chapter, founded in 1980, of a national service club whose national project is Child Abuse Prevention. We have about 30 members, most of whom are business owners and professionals in their 30, 40s, and 50s, and all of whom are young at heart. Our Friday breakfast meetings are a mixture of business—planning upcoming fundraisers and other events, honoring our Student of the Month, etc.—and lighthearted banter, laughter, and camaraderie. As one member said, “This is the most fun you can have at 7:45 in the morning!”
You can find us the first & third Friday of each month through the summer at 7:45-9:00 AM - at the Double Tree in Indialantic, with a monthly happy hour event along the way (- give us a call to find the current location). We take the last Friday of the month off for good behavior.

As befits our mission, the Exchange Club supports a variety of charities and programs aimed at improving the quality of life for Brevard County’s children in need. One aspect of our support is financial: We raised roughly $25,000 this year through fundraisers such as our annual reverse raffle called the “Caribbean Cash Bash”, selling refreshments at the Melbourne Friday Fest, and collecting donations from the members and others. We support worthy causes such as the Candlelighters of Brevard (for the families of children with cancer); or The Haven and Yellow Umbrella, our organizations local Child Abuse Prevention Center. We also support organizations like Master's Workshop and Crosswinds.
For news on next years fund-raiser, call 321-952-8919, or click on the donations tab to the left, the annual Carribean Cash Bash - Reverse Raffle and Silent Auction event will most likely be held in May, from 6:00-9:00 at the Hilton Hotel on A1A in Indialantic, and it's a blast of an event!
Our primary benefactor is The Yellow Umbrella, which is a NPO that was established on behalf of the National Exchange Club's special project of CAPS (Child Abuse Prevention Centers). And as important - we continue to research Brevard County to understand if there are other "children" related organizations that need a hand. Sometimes our support takes the form of hands-on building and repair, when we roll up our sleeves and build playground equipment for My Refuge, a haven for children whose parents cannot care for them; or when we help rehabilitate an old building for use as classroom space for children by The Master’s Workshop. |
