Thank You for a Great Camp Season

Our summer football camp is more than a game—it's a launchpad for life. On the field, Club kids build confidence, discipline, and teamwork. Off the field, they gain mentors who believe in them, safe spaces to grow, and opportunities to lead.

For many of our youth, this camp is the first time they’ve stepped onto a field not just to play, but to grow. In one focused week, they learn to trust teammates, take constructive feedback, bounce back from mistakes, and lead by example. Wearing that jersey becomes a symbol of pride—not just in their team, but in themselves.

This camp exists because of the vision of Ron Johnson, BGCMC President & CEO and former NFL player, and Anthony Toney, former NFL running back and longtime Club mentor—who believe that every child deserves a safe space to dream big and play hard. They know firsthand the power of the game to shape lives on and off the field.

And it’s powered by you. Your support ensures that every summer, kids walk away not only with sharper skills, but with lifelong lessons in teamwork, leadership, and perseverance.

From all of us at Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County: thank you for a season that these young athletes will carry with them for years to come.

The Johnson-Toney Football Camp may last one week, but the impact lasts a lifetime. With your support, more kids will step onto the field next summer ready to grow in confidence, discipline, and leadership.

Give today to help every child discover their strength—on the field and beyond.
