MIAMI, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Steel Sports, a social impact organization inspiring youth to reach their potential on and off the field, is proud to bring their first Kids First Road Show summer camp to Miami's Tropical Park from July 18-22, 2022. The Road Show program will partner with local Steel Partners businesses to sponsor sports camps, scholarships, and events around the country this summer. Steel Sports is proud to partner with the Miami Marlins for this iteration, called the Marlins Youth Academy Summer Camp.

The Kids First Road Show aims to reimagine summer camp for kids with a focus on the Steel core values of Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, and Commitment.
