Buena Vida Foundation was a great event with lots of bubbles, food and giving! Brunch & Bubbles is an annual event to expand the Foundation's reach in our community and throughout Brevard County. Our dining team created a wonderful buffet, and the Foundation committee along with the staff had eleven baskets that were given away to the lucky residents!

Buena Vida Estates is proud of the accomplishments of Buena Vida Foundation.
