FLORIDA CITRUS SPORTS FOUNDATION, INC. IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO BENEFITING CHARITIES, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT FLORIDA CITRUS SPORTS FOUNDATION, INC. HAS HELPED THOUSANDS OF AT-RISK YOUTH IN CENTRAL FLORIDA THROUGH THE FOUNDATION'S MVP PROGRAMS.

THE CURRENT PRIMARY CHARITABLE INITIATIVES OF THE FLORIDA CITRUS SPORTS FOUNDATION (FCSF) INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: SUMMER CAMP - FCSF ANNUALLY CONDUCTS ONE EIGHT-WEEK SESSION OF A FREE SUMMER CAMP, WHICH SERVES APPROXIMATELY 100 ECONOMICALLY-DISADVANTAGED LOCAL MIDDLE SCHOOL CHILDREN IN GRADES FIVE THROUGH EIGHT. THE MAJORITY OF PARTICIPANTS OF THE CAMP ARE RESIDENTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD SURROUNDING CAMPING WORLD STADIUM. IN 26 YEARS, MORE THAN 5,800 NEEDY YOUTH HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE CAMP. THE FOCUS IS UPON ACADEMICS, ATHLETICS, ATTITUDE, AND ACHIEVEMENT AND ENDEAVORS TO STIMULATE CONFIDENCE AND TEAMWORK IN PARTICIPANTS AND TO TEACH VALUABLE LIFE SKILLS. INSTRUCTION IS PROVIDED BY THE ORLANDO POLICE DEPARTMENT AND SCHOOL TEACHERS WITH A SCHOOL-BASED, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER-INSTRUCTED CLASSROOM CURRICULUM WITH ITS PRIMARY EMPHASIS ON THE PREVENTION OF DELINQUENCY, YOUTH VIOLENCE, AND GANG MEMBERSHIP. IN ADDITION, EACH WEEK CAMPERS RECEIVE INSTRUCTION IN COMPUTER AND INTERNET SKILLS. IN EACH SESSION, CAMPERS PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS ACTIVITIES LIKE BASKETBALL, FOOTBALL, DANCE, SOCCER, AND SWIMMING.
