Summer Camp
Uncle Pigskin supports young men through their high school years, from the first day of their freshman year through graduation and beyond. Growth happens ove
r four years of personalized mentoring, and it's effects equip young men for a lifetime.
Where We Serve:
We meet needs in a location where all the odds are stacked against young men:
Meadowcreek High School
78% of students are economically disadvantaged.
90% of students lack a stable adult male in their lives
Financial insecurity results in switching schools, poor nutrition, challenges raising team fees or equipment, few social & Worship opportunities, and rides to and from practice.
No Victim Mentality! Despite the Challenges our young men face, there is a no victim mentality in the program. The Coaches, Mentor and Players are in it to win it. This program will welcome a hand up, but is not asking for a handout. Most inner city schools with similar challenges do not compete against wealthy established schools in the class 7A division. These young men do. They used to run onto the field amid shouts of "Ghettocreek." The players came up with their own motto "Neighborhood to Brotherhood" Their desire is to transform 'the hood stigma' to brotherhood reality.
