The first ever "Tyrell Mims Alumni Back to Give Back" day camp was a success! My mission was to gather a few children from the city of Philadelphia and give them the opportunity to have some fun in a safe environment, learn not only the fundamental skills within the game, but financial literacy, and also meet other people that are apart of the game of football on every single level. Mission was EXECUTED! And I'm thankful for all the parents that registered and brought their children through! Thank you Ardent Credit Union , Martin Luther King High School (PA), and ODAAP for partering with me and making this project a success!

It was a pleasure speaking to Philly-area kids about financial literacy during this youth football camp featuring our #ArdentAthlete, Tyrell Mims. It was great to see kids focused on the fundamental skills of both football and managing their money.
