Mary is following her sister, Marina’s, footsteps: Marina Moussa accepted the grant last year from GL Homes (see below). Marina served as one of K is for Kids top student leaders in 2012-13 when she too was a Gulf Coast High senior and early admissions student at Florida Gulf Coast University. Marina co-chaired the second From the Heart Teen Fashion Festival in 2013 and was an intern for the Foundation.

The Moussas are an an example of families in action for K is for Kids: Mary and Marina have a younger brother who is already involved with the Foundation’s programs. Though still in elementary school, he modeled a tuxedo from the Men’s Warehouse in the last show’s special children’s section. The children’s father also actively volunteers as an extra set of helping hands for the fashion show.
