The event is being held at Lake Artemesia in College Park.

The Clermont Memorial (JACMF) is a charitable, non-profit organization established in the memory of Dr. Jacques A. Clermont, who died in a car accident in 1995. After his death, Clermont's family founded the JACMF and opened a center for homeless children in his hometown of Jacmel in 2003. The center provides food, clothing and shelter to 22 homeless boys on the streets of Haiti.
