Impacting Central Florida
For 36 years, the Arthur “Pappy” Kennedy Prayer Breakfast has united in prayer Central Florida residents and civic, faith, and business leaders who share an unwavering commitment to strengthening our community and uplifting every individual within it. This distinctive occasion, jointly orchestrated by the Southwest Orlando Community Foundation (AKA Southwest Orlando Jaycees), YMCA of Central Florida, and City of Orlando’s MLK Commission, serves as a resounding tribute to the indelible legacies of Arthur “Pappy” Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Empower Students with Your Partnership
Bestowing student scholarships is a deeply fulfilling and gratifying aspect of the Prayer Breakfast and a commitment to nurturing the potential of our Central Florida youth.
As a partner in this event, your capacity to leave a tangible and enduring mark on student lives and our community as a whole will be palpable in the room. Together, we will provide at least six $5,000 scholarships to local high school seniors, who are set to pursue their educational and career goals at accredited colleges, universities, trade schools, or other post-secondary education and training programs in the fall of 2027.
These scholarships are dedicated to deserving students who demonstrate commendable academic performance, strong leadership abilities, active involvement in community service, and financial need.
