Get to Know Our Honoree

Kevin Keenley’s connection to Family House began through the Cabernet for Connoisseurs event, thanks to an introduction by Scott Miller. What started as an evening of philanthropy became a family legacy. Alongside his wife Diane and their children—Cate, Abby, and Cal—the Keenleys have generously served meals, volunteered their time, and built lasting bonds with the Family House community. Today, daughter Cate continues that legacy as a dedicated member of the Young Professionals Advisory Council (YPAC).
Kevin joined the Family House Board of Directors in 2012 and was quickly tapped to serve as Board Treasurer. During his tenure, he played a pivotal role in navigating the complex financing and budgeting processes during the Mission Bay capital campaign, including New Market Tax Credits and planning for the new building. In 2019, Kevin succeeded Steve Goldfarb as Board Chair, where he led the organization through the successful Fund for the Future Campaign and steered Family House with vision and stability through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are deeply grateful for Kevin’s extraordinary leadership, steady guidance, and heartfelt commitment to the mission of Family House.
