J-Mac Football Camp

A few weeks ago former Mizzou wide-reciever Jeremy Maclin hosted a charity weekend here in Columbia, Missouri.  Maclin now plays for the Philadelphia Eagles and he got together a large group of other Missouri alumni in the NFL to return to Columbia and earn money for local charities and his foundation.  The weekend included many events and we were able to attend two of them.  
Saturday morning the former Mizzou football players hosted a free football clinic for boys in the area.  Sam was so thrilled to learn drills from players on the Eagles, 49ers, Steelers, Falcons, Jaguars, etc.  The football players were amazing with the boys.  They all had a great time, got exercise and picked up a few good tips along the way.  A bunch of his buddies from school and teammates from this last season were there so he had a great time.

The second event we attended was a charity softball game.  The players entertained the crowd with a game that included some fun commentary.  It was a great way to spend an evening and know the money was going to a good cause.
