RUFF RIDERS CAMP WITH KIDS AT THE EXPO CENTER

Local professional football team showing that Kids Come First


ABILENE, TX – (March 23, 2010) The Abilene Ruff Riders hosted a spring football camp for the children of New Horizons on March 20, 2010 at the Taylor County Expo Center. Ruff Rider players and coaches gave instruction on football fundamentals and spoke to the children on the importance of hard work and self motivation. “It gives them a positive perspective and they can see that goals that they set for themselves are attainable”, says Head Coach Gerald Dockery of the Ruff Riders. For the children this was an opportunity of a lifetime to be able to interact with their role models, form relationships and gave them a chance to see that there are people who care about their well being. Following the camp lunch was provided by New Horizons and the children and their families were invited to attend the home game that evening against the San Angelo Stampede Express.
