WHO: Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl Cornerback and 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year Nominee, Denzel Ward, and his MTKYN Foundation
WHAT: Denzel Ward Elite Skills Camp 2023
Ward and his MTKYN Foundation are excited to host their third annual youth football camp. The event will be held at Bedford High School and is totally free of charge for 300 kids in the Greater Cleveland area. The camp is highly anticipated, and all spots were filled within hours.
“To be able to play in the city that I grew up in is everything to me. It wasn’t too long ago that I was one of those kids, and I want them to be able to have fun and learn some of the drills that I use in my workouts. I want them to know anything is possible if they work hard and believe in themselves,” said Ward. “My dad was a part of the Bedford School District for many years before he passed in 2016, so bringing the camp to Bedford High School is really special to my family and I,” he added.
Not only will Ward be helping to coach the kids through various drills and provide shirts and giveaways for each camper, but the MTKYN Foundation will also be educating both the children and their families on various aspects of Heart Health – which is the mission of their foundation. MTKYN will provide CPR/AED demonstrations and information.
WHEN/ WHERE: Wednesday, May 24, 2023 from 7-9pm (registration begins at 6pm)
Bedford High School 481 Northfield Rd Bedford, OH 44146
*Denzel will speak briefly to the media near the entrance to the football field around 7:30-8pm after he greets the campers and spends some time with the kids.
