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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>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.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>That one opportunity changed everything.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Why I Started This Camp

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Because talent is everywhere… but opportunity is not.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Real Impact. Real Results.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Justin Denson Jr. (Purdue)

</div>

<div>Jamezell Lassiter (Vanderbilt)

</div>

<div>Xavier Truss (NFL)

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Why I Need Your Help

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your donations help provide:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Meals and hydration

</div>

<div>Football gear and equipment

</div>

<div>Camp shirts and giveaways

</div>

<div>Awards and memorable experiences

</div>

<div>The ability to host an elite, organized event

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This Is Bigger Than Football

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This camp is about more than the game.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>It’s about giving kids:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Confidence

</div>

<div>Guidance

</div>

<div>Exposure

</div>

<div>A belief in what’s possible

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Giving back to the community that gave me everything.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Be Part of the Next Success Story

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The next college athlete.

</div>

<div>The next NFL player.

</div>

<div>The next kid whose life changes forever.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

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

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you can donate, thank you.

</div>

<div>If you can share, that means just as much.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Let’s keep this camp free. Let’s keep changing lives.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>
