    Brenda Reaves

    2020 Featured Volunteer

    Originally from Tennessee, Brenda and her husband relocated to Naples in 2004 from San Diego, California. She worked for the Collier County Government in Purchasing & Contracts until her retirement in 2015.

    With newfound time to embrace volunteerism, Brenda happened to hear about NCEF from her sister. In researching NCEF and its mission, she knew instantly she wanted to donate her time to a cause benefitting the underprivileged children of Collier County.

    As a volunteer since 2015, Brenda’s fondest Festival memories revolve around her experiences on Meet the Kids Day. Seeing the smiling faces of each child present, and knowing they are going to be given help to prosper, truly inspires her.

    Brenda loves to travel in her spare time. Her favorite bucket list travel destinations include a wine and culinary tour of Tuscany, Italy, as well as adventures in Spain and the United Kingdom. If she were to be graced with a superpower, she would choose teleportation….which would certainly help to check a few destinations off her travel wish list!

    Brenda has two favorite quotes:
    Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend. – Bill Waterson
    Live by the sun, love by the moon, dance naked in the rain – unknown

  • Since 2001…

    We have raised over $212 million for children’s charities in Southwest Florida, with auction proceeds going directly to programs that support underprivileged and at-risk children of Collier County. This is a phenomenal achievement based on the generosity of the trustees, sponsors, donors, vintners, chefs, patrons, bidders and the time and talent of our wonderful volunteers. We can all be very proud of what has been accomplished and the Naples Children & Education Foundation is very grateful for the assistance of our volunteers.

Calling All Volunteers

Every year, we assemble a corps of volunteers from our community and any assistance you are able to provide is greatly appreciated. We applaud each one of you for the time, effort and talent donated to this incredible cause.

Applications are accepted September 3 – October 31. At times, we may have more volunteers than needed, at which point a wait list will be instituted. In late December, volunteers will be notified of their Festival assignments and mandatory Volunteer Orientation (required for certain positions).
