Information about this weekend's football, basketball, cheer and dance camps organized by a real life hero



Today in between the action at the Burke County football camp I got a dose of inspiration by learning more about Marquez Gibson's 5th Annual Skills Camp, which will be held this Saturday and Sunday. Here are the details about the camp and about coach Gibson, who is a real life hero for dedicating so much of his time and effort to the causes described in the interview and in the space below:



ASAP Performance 5th Annual Skills Camp Details:


Saturday, July 20 at Josey from 7:30 A.M. to 2:30 P.M.

- Football skills and Cheerleading

Sunday, July 21 at Laney from 1:30 P.M. to 6:30 P.M.

- Basketball and Dance

- FREE Registration; FREE T-Shirts and FREE bags each day; and 250 trophies will be awarded

From the interview:

"Growing up, we didn't have an opportunity to go to camps. So my way of giving back is through education and sports." - Marquez "Furley" Gibson

The camp is hosted by Cycle of Poverty Breakers, a 501c3 coach Gibson formed. Sponsorships and donations are appreciated.

30-40 volunteers will contribute each day.

Gibson teaches math at the East Georgia campuses in Augusta and Swainsboro. He coaches football at Laney. And he has his own SAT/ACT preparation software that he uses to help students improve their math scores on standardized test.
