The annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade and Celebration is a longstanding tradition that celebrates the diverse community of Central Long Beach. This festival serves to honor and keep alive the ideals of Dr. King through arts, remembrance and meaningful perspectives.

Skip and Beth Keesal exemplify Dr. King’s vision of service and uplifting others through their extensive philanthropic efforts. Founders of the Keesal, Young & Logan Charitable Foundation, they have contributed nearly $7 million to organizations focused on education, health, children and the arts. Their commitment extends beyond financial support, with active volunteerism and pro bono legal work benefiting many local organizations. Skip’s leadership in founding a firm rooted in community service and Beth’s dedication to supporting impactful initiatives reflect their shared belief in advancing equality and opportunity

Congratulations, Skip and Beth!
