Officials with So49 say All Children's Hospital was chosen because it serves a large number of youth in our community and surrounding communities in a variety of ways.
The annual event was sponsored by the 49th Street South Business Association, Gulfport Chamber of Commerce, City of Gulfport and City of St. Petersburg.
