🌟 Sponsor Spotlight: Duron Karter – KidZone Sponsor 🌟

The smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories in our KidZone this year are possible because of generous community leaders like Duron Karter! 💙

A published model, brand influencer, veteran, father, entertainer, and proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Duron understands the importance of investing in the next generation. That’s why we’re honored to have him as the official KidZone Sponsor for the 2026 Juneteenth Unity & Heritage Festival! 🎉

His support helps create a fun, safe, and engaging space where our youngest festival-goers can play, learn, and celebrate alongside their families.

Thank you, Duron, for believing in our vision and helping us make this year’s festival a memorable experience for the children of our community.
