Charities and Programs
Dwight's Computers for Kids
Dwight’s Computers for Kids celebrated its 22nd year in 2018! Sincere thanks to our partners and all of the wonderful organizations who have helped us put computers in front of kids. In South Florida, with your help, thousands of kids from low income families are becoming better students and gaining the technical skills needed to compete for jobs in the global economy with a computer at home. The thanks we get from the families are meant equally to all of you who have been so generous. The letters we get fortifies our resolve to eliminate the digital divide and we are proud to help give these students the tools they need to be able to compete and succeed!

affects the lungs and digestive system. An estimated 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide) have CF. The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with the disease the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, promoting individualized treatment, and ensuring access to high-quality, specialized care. The Dwight Stephenson Foundation partners with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to host the Caymus Wine Dinner each year to increase exposure and provide funding to further this critical cause.
