The summer camp is being held from June 22-26 at George A. Barker Jr. Park and hosts campers from the Paramore Area.Ron Blocker, Orange County School Board Superintendent says, "Sonny's has always been a great partner and this camp makes a positive difference in the lives of these children."
Learning for Life State Chairperson and former Secretary of State for Florida, Glenda Hood, explains, "This is a program that allows Orlando's youth to enjoy their summer in a safe, fun and educational camp that ordinarily would not be available to them. Sonny's Bar-B-Q is a staple in the Central Florida Community and their commitment to Orlando's youth is commendable."
