LEE COUNTY, Fla.-- You can grab a bite for lunch or dinner and help SWFL kids go to basketball camp.

On Wednesday, May 9, 2018, Hoops on Mission is having a fundraiser at 3 Pepper Burrito. 20% of sales will go to help kids go to the organization's summer basketball camp. 

Hoops on Mission is a non-profit organization founded by Dwayne Jackson, who was born and raised in the area. Jackson says he decided to give back to the youth and set an example after his family members were murdered 4 years ago. 

The organization also gets kids involved in bible studies, volunteering and other events.
