The Carpenter House & Project Mayhem present

The 2nd Annual Commitment 4 Change Summer Camp July 5 – 9, 2010

 

Retired Atlanta Falcon, Keion Carpenter and Buffalo Bills’ Aaron Maybin have teamed up their charities, The Carpenter House and Project Mayhem, to host the 2nd Annual Commitment for Change (C4C) football camp for youth ages 7-17 years old.  Inspired by their hometown ties to Baltimore and personal journeys to the NFL, they have designed a 6 day clinic to teach young athletes the tools to succeed on and off the field. 

Last year’s camp garnered support from over 20 professional athletes including Antonio Freeman, Bart Scott, Carmelo Anthony, Tommy Polley, Bryant Johnson, Erik King, Vinny Fuller, Peerless Price, Sam Cassell and more. This year, technical skills training will be taught by notable area coaches, NFL athletes and industry experts.  Carpenter and Maybin’s goal is to give Baltimore’s youth access to the resources they need to make good decisions and lead successful lives beyond the gridiron.  In addition to athletic training, campers will receive workshops on character building, college life preparation including SAT review, healthy living and the arts.  More information and registration is available on www.c4c2010.eventbrite.com.
