"Thanks to partners like Hyundai, thousands of children will learn valuable life lessons and the fundamentals of football from current and former NFL players and coaches, who endeavor to be outstanding role models for these young individuals both on and off the field," said Natara Holloway, vice president of NFL Youth & High School Football. "Hyundai's continued commitment to hosting youth summer camps has set a precedent and is an example for all."
