Sonny’s Kids Foundation Formed To Honor Slain Landscaper

Sonny’s Kids Foundation has been put in place to honor the memory of James Sonny Buchanan who became one of the victims of a sniperês bullet on Oct. 3 as he was mowing a strip of grass near Fitzgerald Auto Mall in Rockville. Buchanan was actively involved in The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington, and every Christmas season he would buy Christmas trees in West Virginia, sell them at White Flint Mall and donate the entire proceeds to the Boys and Girls Clubs, according to WANADAês Archie Avedisian who knew him well. He was also a volunteer for Crime Solvers and was a mentor to many children in Montgomery County.

Sonny’s Kids will honor Sonnyês dreams by providing scholarships and educational funds to those in need. The Foundation is currently in the process of developing a strategy to determine how and to whom the funds will be distributed. We thank you all for your patience and support as we mourn the loss of our loved one and define how we carry on Sonny’s name and mission so that he will never be forgotten, says the foundation. Any amount of money will be helpful and appreciated.

More information on Sonny’s Kids Foundation is available on its Web site, www.sonnyskids.org, and donations can be sent to Sonnyês Kids Foundation P.O. BOX 10666, Rockville MD, 20849.
