Not really sure how other pro's do it if they do but just wanted to share a great experience from today. Had the chance to work a camp sponsored by Bob Sanders from the Colts. Bob played for us in HS and has stayed pretty involved with his hometown. He is making sure the camp is free and there are 500 kids registered for both days along with providing two free camps shirts and a bunch of wrist bands and stuff for the for the kids and shirts and shorts for the coaches. Bob was also signing and posing for just about anything anyone asked him for. They also incoperated several min-talks by a local guy who is starting his own FCA type org. and Bob would also talk and back up all the character building stuff with stories about himself and football. There was a morning group and afternoon group and both were provided with lunch and drinks.
I am not sure if other guys have free camps like this or give that much at their camps but just wanted to point out an NFL guy that is truly giving back with a great opprtunity for kids in our area.

GOOD FOR HIM. WISH MORE PROS DID IT OR GET CREDIT FOR THE CAMPS IF THEY RUN THEM. TOO MUCH NEGATIVE PUBLICITY. DON'T FORGET THE POSITIVE ALSO. THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW.
