A fund, administered by Breds - Treasure Beach Foundation, to support recovery and relief efforts for Treasure Beach (St. Elizabeth) in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. The Breds Foundation was founded in 1998 by Jason Henzell of Jakes Hotel, Villas and Spa, and Peace Corps volunteer Aaron Laufer. The idea to form the nonprofit came by way of a request for a basketball court from a few local youths. This request sparked the desire of the two founders to establish a grassroots organization that would help bridge the funding gap for worthy projects in the area. Today, Breds remains committed to improving the lives of the people living in the Greater Treasure Beach community.
