Summary:
In 2016, in response to the death of Orlando’s My Brother’s Keeper Coordinator Gino Nicolas, the Kiwanis Club of Orlando Foundation established the Gino Nicolas Memorial Scholarship Fund at the Central Florida Foundation to promote and support Parramore youth attending and completing college.
Mayor Dyer will call upon Lisa Early, Director of the Families, Parks and Recreation Department, to introduce Mr. Tom Porter, President of the Kiwanis Club of Orlando Foundation.
