Run, jump, throw and catch are vital components of Play, and Partners for Parks wants to help kids be active and healthy as they grow and thrive. Partners for Parks sponsored five recipients — boys and girls grades 1-8 — for scholarships at the DJ Moore Youth Football ProCamp this week, where they were able to play while running, jumping, throwing, and catching a football.
Partners for Parks has provided scholarships for hundreds of football campers in the Charlotte region over the past 10 years. These scholarships are made available through our partnership with ProCamp and a third party, the Garth Brooks Foundation.
Our cameras snapped a few highlights of our campers having fun and Breathing Life Into Our Community at the Youth Football ProCamp. Take a look!
