I have watched for many years this foundation set out to help others. Wether it be giving away free swim lessons, or offering them to the community where it’s not accessible, hosting galas and walks that provides education to families, or just simply supporting others. I admire the dedication this foundation shows when it comes to water safety and drowning prevention. Such a pillar of hope to all concerned !!

I truly appreciate what this foundation is about and what it stands for. I lost my nephew who I loved to a drowning, it was the negligence of the adults, but most importantly the lack of awareness. This foundation headed off by Arkeisha has brought to the forefront the many issues that can save many lives and prevent water related tragedies. My thanks goes to this foundation for their help putting an end to this problem.
Wow, the work Team Kareem does cannot be expressed into words. I’ve received help for me and my family when everyone turned their backs. This non profit deserves more recognition than is given. I hope for many more years of prosperity for this organization and those they bring joy to.

I absolutely love and appreciate this nonprofit because it’s more than just a foundation, but their purpose is more heartfelt and personal. Everything they do is done with compassion & care. It’s almost as if their my own family!
Even though most of her events are in Orlando she will still help find lessons in CPR in your area, but still manages to hold virtual walks. She helps with finding lessons and CPR in your area. she also sells floating devices. and she holds an annual walk that provides education and in remembrance of all the childhood drowning victims annually.
I love this foundation! They are very caring and very proactive. The owner was very attentive to my concerns about water safety and helped my daughter find a swimming lesson in our area. We need more foundations like TKMF !
The Team Kareem Memorial Foundation is one of the greatest nonprofits I have seen serving the youth here in Central Florida. They have hosted a ton of swimming and drowning prevention lessons to the youth as well as adults. They have also donated to other nonprofits within the same county that I serve.
Team Kareem Memorial Foundation is a wonderful organization, the organization not only helps less fortunate children with swimming lessons, there is a wide variety this organization does with the community. Swimming and learning to swim is very important and this organization strives to teach and express swimming literature to help prevent drownings.
I have a toddler that is not afraid of water AT ALL, so when I heard about Team Kareem I was beyond grateful for them and their program for swimming. Every summer we are at swim lessons faithfully! I tell everyone with children about the team kareem organization.
I absolutley this organization! They have been a great help and service to my children and I, helping them learn how to swim, helping us around the tough holiday seasons to make sure the children are never left out. Thank you TEAM KAREEM for being such a wonderful help to the community!!
I’m honor to have met Ms. ArKesha, she a phenomenal woman who has the heart for people. The Team Kareem Foundation is a blessing for many, especially for my son who takes swimming lesson. Teaching your children how to swim is necessary. In addition, Ms. ArKesha communicates well with me and she makes sure that everything is ran smoothly, and she checks to see how my son is doing with his swimming lesson. I’m grateful for the Team Kareem Foundation.

Learning how to swim is necessary. I have a four year old son, who has a love- hate relationship with water. I have family members that are adults and don’t know how to swim, and I don’t want that for my son. So, I reached out to Ms ArKesha (Team Kareem) and she showed me how to sign my son up for swimming lessons, and I’m truly grateful for her because she’s willing to help others so they will not have to go through trying times on losing their child/children to drowning.
I am beyond grateful for this organization. From beginning to end. Very professional and trustworthy my Son and Daughter are comfortable swimmers now and I owe it all to team kareem .
Thank you as always for the wonderful opportunity
Water related accidents (drowning) happens at the blink of an eye. This non profit organization goes above and beyond to assist with educating families and schools on the importance of being safe around water. In addition, they have provided many individuals/families with swimming vouchers so they can learn how to swim and remain safe around water. Team Kareem Memorial Foundation continues to raise awareness so that no family would not have to experience what this young mother has endured. The fear of losing a child or a loved one is heartbreaking and with this organizations strong commitment to provide water safety awareness, I believe we can combat these tragedies one community at a time. Supporting this organization is near and dear to my heart and I will continue to support this amazing young lady and organization.

Being able to assist with providing other families with the tools that can help prevent drowning is a blessing. Although, Kareem's mom would rather not being doing this and have my nephew back anyday,it has helped provide education and water safety prevention to so many families. I am grateful for this organization.
Team Kareem is a great organization with a very important mission. They desire that not another child loses their life due t to drowning which is so fitting for Florida. Swim lessons are provided, along with drown prevention education and awareness.
The Team Kareem Memorial Foundation is a vital organization here in Florida especially for the fact that Florida is filled with pools and beaches. Water safety, and drowning prevention is just amongst the few devices the nonprofit provides. As a volunteer for the various events and fundraisers the organization has hosted I am honored to help out and attend all of them.
A well needed nonprofit in my community here in central Florida (Kissimmee/Poinciana/St.Clould/Orlando area
This is an amazing organization that is really helping to bring awareness to water safety. I personally have learned a lot and take more precautions when being around water especially when my children are around as well. I am very thankful the this organization and everything that they are doing to help spread the word about water safety l!
Team Kareem Memorial Foundation is absolutely amazing. They have allowed me to get my 14 month old son in swim lessons. Having a pool in our backyard, I appreciate that I will now have peace of mind knowing that my little guy will have the skills to save himself if he ever fell in. Anything can happen and it's so necessary for children and adults to be educated about water safety and know how to swim. This is an awesome organization to spread the word about & support.
Learning to swim, no matter your age, is a top priority for the Team Kareem Foundation. The foundation advocates education and swim safety in the community providing free swim lessons, CPR classes and pool fence installation to prevent accidental drownings. A wonderful organization to support!
Team Kareem is an amazing organization that raises awareness for the prevention of drowning for children. I became aware of this organization through Keisha who is the founder. Her story is heartbreaking but her ability to take such a personal loss and turn it into an educational experience for others takes a special person. Keisha's goal to teach young children how to prevent drowning should be one shared by everyone. No family should have to go through that, and just a few lessons can help save lives. Please, share the information. Be aware of your children and grandchildren when you're around water. Don't just assume someone else is watching them. It only takes a few seconds to change a family forever.
Team Kareem Memorial foundation is doing an amazing job bringing awareness to the community. Being new to the community and having small children we quickly became aware of the foundation. Keisha the owner has personally encouraged me and my children to learn how to swim as a preventative measure which was sponsored by the foundation. She is an awesome individual and what she is doing for the community through her foundation is is amazing!!!!
Having attended several walks and events, my perspective on water safety has definitely been enlightened. I am a great admirer of the care,love and support rendered by this foundation.
Thanks for your dedication and every effort to save lives.
Thanks to this organization providing swimming lessons for my granddaughters, they now have the skills to swim and further been educated about water safety. I commend the support of this foundation and it’s continuous efforts to educate our society.
“ THANKS TEAM KAREEM “

Prevention remains the best treatment and this organization has been just that. In addition to providing education, swimming, water safety lessons and pool fencing education, this mother has increased her territory by adding a book for younger children and group talks to encourage others to join the movement to prevent water related accidents. The organization is filled with pure love in hopes of saving lives. Although, it hurts, I am grateful to walk alongside this cause at any time. I know there is a purpose and it shows with each growing second. Keep hope alive by supporting Team Kareem Memorial Foundation.
This organization is an added bonus to child safety and safety overall. The benefits the organization offers include help with drowning prevention knowledge, swimming, and cpr lessons. The importance of water safety needs to be broadcasted nationwide to prevent fatal or horrific accidents from happening.

Great organization that educates the community for water safety with swim lessons and CPR to save lives. Wonderful people to work with.
Team Kareem is a much needed organizaton. By attending their annual walk I learned so much. I was educated about the importance of prevention of drowning awareness, especially concerning the death of children. I had no clue how often this happens. The organization works so passionately to save lives. I like the fact that Parents and children can learn CPR and water safety tips. At the walk I received life jackets for my niece and nephews. Which I am truly grateful for. Organizations such as this are needed because a lot if families can not afford floation devices or swimming lessons. I am appreciative of the services that Team Kareem provide and I support it wholeheartedly.

This type of charity work is near and dear to my heart as I lost my grandson. Since his death, life has not been the same and it is my hope and prayer that noone has to experience such a tragedy as this. This non profit organization helps keep his memory alive while educating others and providing for less fortunate families. These families will not be able to pay for lessons for their loved ones. Whatever I can do to keep his memory alive and save others from a dreadful day. Through thos organization, many families have come together as one voice and to lean on one another. This organization reaches many lives in a positive manner. It educates and gives back at the same time. Keep hope alive#notonemore
I went to the team Kareem walk and I met a lot of great people and witnessed a genuine concern for kids all around the world
THIS NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION HAS HELPED MANY CHILDREN THAT NEED TO LEARN ABOUT DROWNING AND MUCH MORE. I LOVE HELPING OUT
This mama is one amazing water safety advocate in honor of her son, Kareem. I support this foundation in honor of the children that have passed from accidental drowning accidents.
Team Kareem is great!Always educating you on water safety and helping others families in time of need.Team Kareem always gives back to the community.
Team Kareem is a non.profit that is needed it does a great job educating parents and children about water safety.
They made it possible for my son to go from never taking his feet off the floor of the pool, to being more relaxed, to beginning floating, swimming, adding all together the many parts of swimming like moving arms, kicking legs, keeping face in water, and moving. There is so much to learning how to swim! My son is well on his way to swimming 100%. He has had only 5 weeks of classes, but the difference is incredible.
Such a vital part of life, swimming should be required of every child, like learning to walk.
This organization is helping to save children’s lives, to give them crucial tools to help them save their own lives if faced with a crisis. How wonderful is that?
