Damien Berry gives back to Belle Glade

There were plenty of wide eyed young football players in Belle Glade on Saturday morning, as Baltimore Raven running back and Super Bowl Champion Damien Berry returned home for his inaugural Football Camp. Berry, along with several current and former NFL stars, helped the kids work on their football skills, with the overall goal of inspiring them in their lives.

"There are a lot things that transpire in our lives which put us in different places," said Damien Berry, "opportunity is one of them. When given the chance you must take the initiative, embrace it and do your best to accomplish your goal. With God first, and family you can strive to make it a reality."  

The Grace FLY Youth Foundation was founded by Damien's father Kenny Berry, and according to a statement it's "mission is to empower the youth of Palm Beach County through its outreach programs". 

"There's a better way," says Kenny Berry, " and what they see out in Belle Glade, that's not the whole World. Not everyone's gonna make it in football, so you have to have something to fall back on, and that's what the Grace Fly Youth Foundation is about."
