Over the Christmas break, my son Bernie gave his verbal to the U.S. Naval Academy. Bernie, I can assure you, never received one bit of interest from Navy before the LFG Camp. It was Mike Judge that noticed him during the lineman 1 on 1´s and began talking to him and eventually myself and my wife. Bernie, being only 6´2”, found his dream of playing Division 1-A football quickly evaporating from his reach. The LFG Camp at Lafayette Campus IS THE REASON that his dream came true" - Bernie Sarra, Monessen, PA

The annual Lauren’s First and Goal Football Camps have been set for Sunday, June 5 at Lafayette College in Easton, Pa. and Sunday, June 26 at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio. Open to students entering grades 9-12 in Sept. 2011, and staffed by volunteer college coaches from Division I, II and III, the camps offer a tremendous opportunity to learn new techniques and make recruiting connections.

The one-day, non-contact camps provide participants with instruction in a variety of offensive and defensive skills from volunteer college coaches from around the country.  Among the featured guests at this years camp are new UConn Head Coach Paul Pasqualoni, who will speak at the PA camp, and Ohio State standout and two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin who will participate at the Ohio camp.

Lauren´s First and Goal is a 501(c)3 charitable organization, a labor of love started in 2004 by John and Marianne Loose in honor of their daughter, Lauren, a 13-year-old pediatric brain tumor survivor. The Loose family started the foundation as a way to help other families who are battling childhood cancer. Since its inception, LFG has raised more than $800,000 toward its mission to provide financial support for brain tumor research and cancer services, to offer financial and emotional support to families living with pediatric cancer, and to increase awareness of the disease. These goals are made possible through the funding gained through LFG Football Camp and charitable contributions.
