Charitable Work
Alexander was involved in supporting a number of charities. In Saint Lucia, the country Alexander represented in his playing days, he established the Sacred Sports Foundation www.sacredsportsinc.com to help increase sporting opportunities for St Lucian children. The Foundation continues to thrive under the stewardship of his brother Delroy and sister Nova, which have continued to build on the legacy started by Keith. The Sacred Sports Foundation has received grants from the European Union, Australia Government and UNESCO, for a range of sports development and education programmes. The Foundation also has a partnership with the St. Lucia Football Association www.saintluciafa.com.

Famous quotes containing the words charitable and/or work:
“Family ... the home of all social evil, a charitable institution for comfortable women, an anchorage for house-fathers, and a hell for children.”
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
“It is not true that there is dignity in all work. Some jobs are definitely better than others.... People who have good jobs are happy, rich, and well dressed. People who have bad jobs are unhappy, poor and use meat extenders. Those who seek dignity in the type of work that compels them to help hamburgers are certain to be disappointed.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
