Wow! What an incredible 3 days for our 25th Anniversary Football Camp presented by Holowicki Enterprises. We are grateful to all of the campers, coaches, volunteers, sponsors and families who made this week so special. This camp funds our mission to promote reading by providing free books and positive role models to kids in need while encouraging athletes to pay it forward. For 25 years, we have had constant reminders that if you lead with your heart, good things happen.
