Breds (Jamaica)
Breds, The Treasure Beach Foundation was established as a nonprofit organization in 1998 by Peace Corps volunteer Aaron Laufer and hotelier Jason Henzell. The organization was started with the purpose of addressing the specific needs within Treasure Beach, while also providing a mutually beneficial connection between the tourism sector and the community–a relationship that in many ways has come to define Treasure Beach. Currently Breds is focusing on several major projects including: the Treasure Beach Triathlon and the Treasure Beach Sports Park and Community Centre.
The term “Breds”, short for Brethren, is commonly used by locals hailing each other on our fishing beaches.
