Sumter County Commission Chairman Marcus Campbell has served as FSBC Event Coordinator since it began almost 30 years ago was also a former professional basketball player.

Students of all ages were given free t-shirts, food, beverages, and awarded trophies. Athletic skills and life lessons were also provided.
