(Community Matters 127) Mom/Son Birthday Challenge to Raise Funds for Lions Football Campers in Battle Creek
The Detroit Lions engage kids in learning more about football by offering football summer camps all over Michigan.
In 2025, one of the camps will take place in late July at Battle Creek Central High School.
Nine-year-old Bentley Dowdy and his mom Brittney, of Battle Creek, have started a friendly competition for their birthdays to see which can raise more funds to send kids to the camp. The participation fee for the Lions football camp is $249 per camper.
Brittney tells Community Matters her son said he wanted to "give back," which prompted her to come up with the fundraising idea.
