“As Vice President of US Sports Camps and a former MLB player, I’ve had the privilege of seeing firsthand how the right opportunities can change the course of a young athlete’s life. Partnering with Play Without Limits Project to run the Nike RBI Athletics Baseball Camp in Sacramento brought that belief to life in a powerful way. Their support ensured that kids could step onto the field, access top-tier coaching, and experience something truly special.

The camp filled in less than 24 hours, parents calling it the best their child had ever attended, and the highlight came when MLB player Lawrence Butler joined us, inspiring every camper with his story and passion for the game. This collaboration shows what’s possible when we remove barriers and invest in youth experiences.

Together, we’re not just running camps—we’re creating moments that build confidence, ignite dreams, and set young athletes on a path to play without limits. I’m proud of what we accomplished and excited for the many more opportunities ahead.”
