“This event has given us, both Patriots Alumni and the Charitable Foundation, an opportunity to reach out and show kids who might not really understand the values of team sports how it helps in the development of life skills,” said former Center and President of Patriots Alumni, Pete Brock.

“During the last eleven years we have expanded this program throughout New England. The campers have learned teamwork, camaraderie and discipline while just having fun. And for all of the alumni players involved, it has been fun for us as we get to share our experiences with the kids,” Brock said.
