The Martin Bayless Free Football Camp is the largest free football camp in the United States. Over the last twenty one years, the camp has served more than 135,000 kids in Dayton, OH, San Diego, CA, Kansas City, MO, Phoenix, AZ, Buffalo, NY and new site, Houston, TX. Along with this donation, the Foundation has donated over $400,000 of sports equipment to high school sports programs.
Martin started the Foundation to fulfill an obligation both to his community and himself.
"I am excited for the schools who earned the equipment and hopefully reaped more than football skills from my camp. It's my dream to continue to nurture young people on and off-the-field, but more importantly in the field of life"
