The boxes were dumped off South Orange Blossom Trail near SR-417. The man who found the boxes said he was at Public Storage putting some things in his unit when he noticed a dumpster overflowing with paperwork. There was hardly any room left to put anything else in the large trash container. He took a closer look and found information on athletes and their guardians, everything from social security numbers to copies of birth certificates. The documents found indicate they're all old records from a non-profit group based in Lake Buena Vista called the Amateur Athletic Union, otherwise known as the AAU. According to its website, the AAU claims to be one of the largest non-profit volunteer organizations in the United States dedicated to the promotion and development of amateur sports.
