Saturday's
camp, which took place at the Mockingbird Valley Sports Complex,
featured former University of Louisville standout and current Buffalo
Bills offensive lineman Eric Wood.
"The chances of them to become
an NFL player are probably slim, like everywhere else around the
world," Brooks said. "But the chances of them growing up to be a good
human being, this is what we're planning on, so that's why we're here."
One
hundred boys and girls between the ages of 9-13 from Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Kentuckiana, Sunrise Children's Services and Tickets for Kids
Charities took part in the camp.
