The one-day clinic featured 275 college coaches who volunteered their time to teach aspiring football players the in-and-outs of the game, including Ken Lockard, Defensive Coordinator from Cheyney.  

The donations from campers alone tallied $62,000 and the day’s total of $190,000 is steadily on the rise with the help from outside contributions, including a $100,000 pledge from the Special Needs Trust in Clearwater, Fla.

Lauren, the daughter of Lafayette defensive coordinator John Loose, addressed the crowd of players, coaches, parents and volunteers who turned out to support her battle with an inoperable brain tumor and expressed her appreciation for their continuous support. Connecticut head coach Randy Edsall was the keynote speaker.

“Randy Edsall did a tremendous job as the guest speaker. He participated the entire day and brought his son to the camp.
