Lloyd Frazier Memorial Golf & Tennis Outing Honoring Steven Frazier July 15
Steven Frazier grew up inside McDonald’s. As the child of a McDonald’s Owner/Operator, Steve looked up to his dad and saw how hard he worked to run his businesses, feed his community, and support his family. Steve’s dad, Lloyd Frazier was a hero to Steven—and to many. In 2001, One of Lloyd’s restaurants, located on Greenwich and Chambers Streets in Lower Manhattan, stood a few feet away from the destruction of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Steven recalls how his dad heroically saved the lives of two first responders that day.
