Kennebunk Beach Improvement Association (KBIA)
“KBIA shaped so many of my childhood summers — golf, swimming, friendships, and life lessons that stayed with me. Now, watching my son experience those same traditions brings it full circle. Supporting KBIA is about preserving a place that builds character, community, and joy for generations.” – Nathaniel Tilton
For over a century, KBIA has been a cherished part of the Kennebunk Beach community, offering enriching summer programs for children and families. From marine science to sailing, tennis to arts and crafts, KBIA fosters confidence, connection, and coastal stewardship. As both an alumnus and a parent, I’m proud to support this nonprofit that continues to inspire young minds and strengthen our seaside community. Learn More.
