Fall Festival at Boys Town North Florida

Boys Town children enjoyed some fall at the annual Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem (SMOTJ) Fall Festival!

Preceding the festival, SMOTJ presented Boys Town with a check and headed to the Boys Town North Florida residential campus to celebrate with the youth, many who dressed up in Halloween costumes. Everyone enjoyed Momo’s Pizza, courtesy of the restaurant, Halloween treats and entertainment by several of the organization’s members. Some members played bagpipes and taught the youth how to play drums.

After the festival, several of the SMOTJ members were so positively impacted by the experience they had that they made an additional donation to Boys Town North Florida.

“Boys Town North Florida cannot thank SMOTJ and their members enough for their constant support and positive impact on our youth,” said Ken Bender, Boys Town North Florida Executive Director. “The Fall Festival is an event that our youth look forward to each and every year.” 

The Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem, Inc. is an autonomous and independent organization, which seeks to emulate the chivalric and charity traditions of the original Templars; its members apply themselves energetically and selflessly to Christian charitable endeavors.
