S ince opening International Diamond Center’s doors nearly 30 years ago, Keith Leclerc’s ambitions have always gone far beyond the diamond business. “The Lord has blessed my family and our company,” he says, “and we will always live by the motto, to whom much is given, much is expected.” This spirit inspired Keith and his family to give back to all of the communities that IDC’s stores serve, in a consistent and authentic manner. Hence, Keith is very proud to introduce The Fifth C foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to create an intimate expression of the Leclerc’s family values and an extension of their traditions of philanthropy. The foundation is centered around philanthropic giving and a passion for helping others. The primary focuses leading the foundation’s vision include veterans of war, childhood education, and pediatric oncology. Many of the nonprofits we have supported over the years include Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Academy Prep Centers of Education, Operation Healing Forces, CASA, SAFE Tamp Bay, Johns Hopkins All Children’s, New Life Solutions, Children’s Dream Fund, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Boys & Girls Clubs, Shepards Village, Safe Shelter in Savannah, Mary’s Place, ARC of Tampa By, Heartworks, Family Promise of Gainesville, SOAR, SD Gunner Foundation, David Maus Foundaation, Thomas Promise Foundation, Polk County Sheriff, Reed Charitable Foundation, and many more.
