The George Wilson Safety Foundation has several events scheduled for kids and adults this summer. The former Paducah Tilghman and current Buffalo Bills standout will host a Sports Fest Football and Cheer Camp along with a Family Night Bowling Event.

Sports Fest is an annual event hosted by Wilson, along with the NFL Youth Fund, NFL Fuel Up to Play 60, USA Football Academy, Western Baptist Hospital, McCracken County School District, the Paducah Independent School District and many others.

The mission of the football and cheer camp is to raise the awareness of the effects of childhood obesity. Through theses programs, Wilson and his professional team of coaches demonstrate fun ways to incorporate physical activities into every day life.

This year’s football and cheer camp will be held from 8:30 am-1 pm, Saturday June 16, at Paducah Tilghman High School. The football camp will consist of agility drills, football specifics, sprint races and team-building exercises. This year’s cheerleader camp, led by a former Indiana Pacers Cheerleader, will consist of cheer warm-ups and dance moves.

A registration form for the upcoming camps can be found at http://www.gwsafety.org/registration.html.
