“Make It Happen” Youth Football Camp 2016
The Drayton Florence Foundation thanks all who participated in the 13th Annual “Make It Happen” Football Camp
A special thank you goes out to those who supported the event especially the great coaches and mentors.
The “Make It Happen” Football Camp is a free camp for youth, ages 8-18 years of age. The football camp is organized by 11 year NFL veteran, Drayton Florence and the Drayton Florence Foundation.
Mr. Florence coached and mentored these scholar athletes, along with the help of his camp staff. In addition to teaching fundamental football skills, the camp was designed to impart the message of lifeskills: hard work, discipline, goal-setting, dedication, sportsmanship and teamwork.
This annual event is an exciting opportunity to receive instructions on how to become better in the sport of football from someone who has played at its highest level for over a decade. We had a blast.
