District 6 Special Projects

Engaged residents, neighborhood associations, and businesses move our community forward. It is what drives District 6. Commissioner Bakari F. Burns' vision includes philanthropy to help students and seniors. Through projects like the FORE! Children Celebrity Golf Tournament we are able to fund community efforts by providing support for several community-based programs: scholarships for current and future college students, backpacks and school supplies for our younger students, and resources to further assist seniors.

Thanks to our generous donors, we've awarded over 44 scholarships to date to students from the District and $8,000 to the My Brothers Keeper Program (MBK). The District 6 office partners with MBK, addressing mental health matters and social issues and fighting among students at schools in District 6.

The fundraising program is managed through the Orlando Community Youth Trust, a non-profit that supports the mission of the City of Orlando's Families, Parks and Recreation Department.
