But as she got to know the children and learned how few had ever been outside the neighborhood, much less to the theater or a museum, she knew she had to do something. She started by planning field trips and raised money to send 10 of the neediest kids to sleepover camp in the summer of 1999. She raised more money, found more camps to provide reduced tuition, and this summer, the program sent 365 kids to camp, exposing them to new experiences and children from varied backgrounds. She devised weekend family camps to teach camping skills as well as leadership and conflict resolution skills to the children and their entire families.

He’s a force in his community, active in dozens of volunteer organizations, including the Boys & Girls Clubs for which he helped sell 1,100 acres for $3.5 million and convinced the board to move forward with an aggressive master plan and expansion of its clubhouse. He is also credited with saving the private, community-run San Diego Blood Bank from bankruptcy by replacing the executive director, who had traditionally been a physician, with a business-savvy leader. Kevane also raised $2 million for St. Augustine, the only private all boys Catholic high school in San Diego—a school with a rich ethnic and racial mix that accepts students regardless of ability to pay—and convinced the Board of Trustees to rethink its master plan and undertake very ambitious renovation and fundraising goals. Finally, Kevane is a formidable voice in solving the ever-growing affordable housing crisis in San Diego, as an appointee to the city’s Affordable Housing Task Force as well as working with many other groups.
