Where Garth Brooks goes, Teammates for Kids follows. As part of Brooks’ shows in Charlotte this month, Teammates for Kids hosted a youth basketball camp for 84 boys and girls. ProCamps extended an opportunity for Partners for Parks to recruit young people to participate in the private event at Naomi Drenan Rec Center on July 16. Partners for Parks registered 30 boys and girls to participate. The Teammates for Kids Foundation partners with Brooks to host youth sports camps in all of the cities on his current stadium tour.
