What a wonderful and joyful time we had at the 15th Annual Brandon M King Scholarship Fundraising Event in Tallahassee on Saturday.

As a dear and long-time friend to Brandon 's mom Carolyn "Freda" King, and the entire family, I was honored to be in attendance and apart of the event.

Additionally, Front Porch Community Development Association, Inc. is the fiscal agent of the BMK Foundation, Inc, the organization who is the coordinating host and facilitator of the fundraising events.

For the past 15 years, the King family has kept Brandon's memory alive by providing scholarships in access of 40 to Tallahassee State College (formerly known as Tallahassee Community College) students.

It was extremely moving and emotional to hear the testimonials of past and present scholarship recipients on how their lives have been impacted as recipients of the scholarships.

Congratulations to the King family, sponsors, donors, volunteers, vendors, friends, and family, for keeping Brandon's memory alive while impacting so many individual's lives.

May God continue to bestow blessings upon your endeavors!

The Truth Behind The V**e Workshop Event was a huge success!

The event, sponsored by Moffitt Cancer Center, was held on Saturday, July 18, at the Childs Park Recreation Center- St. Petersburg, and hosted by Front Porch Community Development Association in collaboration with Childs Park Neighborhood Association, Inc. and All The Worlds Kids, Inc.

43 youth, ages 10 to 18 attended the workshop where they each received a $15 cash training stipend, one free 1-hour art design session from All The Worlds Kids, Inc., and a backpack filed with anti-va**ng information along with additional goodies and keepsakes.

The workshop provided information on the harmful effects of va**ng and to***co use as well as the impact that usage has on family and friends.

Additionally, the the workshop attendees received an invitation to participate in the Art in the Park canvas art creation session which was held simultaneously during the workshop.

The event was so well attended that Front Porch intends on having another workshop in the near future.

Thank you to Moffitt Cancer Center, Childs Park Neighborhood Association, All the Worlds Kids, our volunteers, and event attendees for your support and contributions.
