Kevane uses his business skills to help charitable organizations be the best they can be. He’s a force in his community, active in dozens of volunteer organizations, including the Boys & Girls Club of East County and St. Augustine High School, for which he raised $2 million. He is credited with saving the private, community-run San Diego Blood Bank from bankruptcy, replacing the executive director, who had traditionally been a physician, with a business-savvy leader. In addition, as an appointee to the city’s Affordable Housing Task Force, Kevane is a formidable voice in helping to solve the ever-growing affordable housing crisis in San Diego.
