OUR Mission

Sunnys on the Monon is more than an event space. It is a tribute.

Named in honor of Derreck Lamont Burnett Sr., our space carries the legacy of a man defined by love, strength, and selflessness. On June 26, 2021, Derreck lost his life in an act of heroism, using his final moments to ensure the safety of someone he loved.

His courage, his heart, and his spirit live on through every moment created within these walls.

At Sunny’s on the Monon, we are committed to providing a space where memories are made, love is celebrated, and life is honored, just as he lived.
