One Free Camp Can Change a Kid’s Life—It Changed Mine

Before I ever played in the NFL… before I became a Super Bowl Champion… I was just a kid at a football camp—hoping someone would notice me.

That one opportunity changed everything.

Being from tiny Rhode Island, It gave me exposure. It gave me confidence. It put me on a path that led to a 12-year NFL career, and becoming a super bowl champion

Now, I’m committed to doing the same for the next generation.

Why I Started This Camp

In 2015, I created the Will Blackmon Football Camp with one goal:

Make sure every kid, no matter their background, has access to opportunity.

That’s why this camp has always been 100% free.

Because talent is everywhere… but opportunity is not.

Real Impact. Real Results.

This isn’t just a camp, it’s a launching pad.

Local Rhode Island kids who once showed up as campers are now playing at the highest levels:

Justin Denson Jr. (Purdue)

Jamezell Lassiter (Vanderbilt)

Xavier Truss (NFL)

They were once in these same lines… wearing these same camp shirts… chasing the same dreams.

Why I Need Your Help

As the camp continues to grow, so does the need to keep it running at a high level—without ever charging families.

Your donations help provide:

Meals and hydration

Football gear and equipment

Camp shirts and giveaways

Awards and memorable experiences

The ability to host an elite, organized event

Every dollar goes directly into creating something special for these kids.

This Is Bigger Than Football

This camp is about more than the game.

It’s about giving kids:

Confidence

Guidance

Exposure

A belief in what’s possible

I’ve been blessed to reach the highest level of the sport, but this is the work that matters most to me.

Giving back to the community that gave me everything.

Be Part of the Next Success Story

The next college athlete.

The next NFL player.

The next kid whose life changes forever.

They’re out there right now, and they just need a chance.

If you can donate, thank you.

If you can share, that means just as much.

Let’s keep this camp free. Let’s keep changing lives.
