Investor to finance first football training camp i

Investor to finance first football training camp in US Virgin Islands
As Major League Baseball teams found out over the years, islands in the Caribbean are loaded with world class athletes.
Now, thanks to a forwardthinking businessman, organized football is coming to the US Virgin Islands. Thomas, billionaire investor, Jeffrey Epstein and his foundation, the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], have helped finance the first football training camp in the US Virgin Islands. Virgin Islands have participated in the first Football Life Skills Camp. The program was set up by the nonprofit foundation, Youth Lifeline America (YLA). Coaches at the camp have included twotime Super Bowl Champion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and founder of YLA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Roland Williams, Football Hall of Famer, Floyd Little and many other athletes.
In addition to star athletes, community leaders, renowned performing artists and business persons have served as mentors and speakers. The camp also includes a fitness camp for girls and a series of life skills sessions on such subjects as financial literacy and mentorship. At the end of the camp, every participant receives a pair of Nike shoes and other sports and schooling equipment.
"The kids are still talking about last year's camp," said Williams, a formidable tight end, who helped the St. Louis Rams defeat the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV. "It's really become a part of the territory, and this is a very exciting time. This is the beginning of a host of programs we will be doing to inspire and empower the kids of the Caribbean."
Based in St. Louis, Missouri, YLA brings together the powerful influence of celebrity artists, athletes, entertainers and business professionals to teach youth valuable life skills. To date, YLA has collaborated with more than 327 community organizations across the United States.
Founded in 2000 by Jeffrey Epstein,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation sponsors science education and youth based programs across the US. "YLA uses a powerful model of collaborating with celebrities to teach and inspire the young. It motivates kids to set high standards and that is excellent."
Stars on YLA's board include: Alicia Keyes, Jermaine Andre,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], MMA Champion, Charles Woodson, NFL star, Torry Holt, NFL star,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jo Jo White, NBA legend, Bobby Simmons, NBA star, Chris Berman and sports commentator, Jim Brown.
