4th Annual Ovie Mughelli Free Football Camp Focuses on Environmental Friendliness

Charleston, SC--- Through the Ovie Mughelli Foundation, ecologically conscious Atlanta Falcons fullback, Ovie Mughelli, will host his Fourth Annual Free Football Clinic, this year's theme being "Our Future is Green." This year, in addition to working with students aged eight to seventeen years on various drills and skill improvement techniques that will help them on the field, the camp will also feature an environmental theme. "Children and their developments have always fascinated me and the earth they will inherit from us is important to me." "I wish the children, irrespective of their economic or social backgrounds, to walk away with a wealth of information that will improve their lives," says Mughelli.

Dubbed the eco-athlete, Mughelli has been making strides live an environmentally friendly life and has been encouraging others, especially the children he works with, to do the same. He's partnered with eco-crusader, Lauren Turner on various projects and has made environmental issues a large part of his community outreach. He also participated in the 2009 Go Green Expo in Atlanta, GA.

At this year's camp, recycling will be strongly encouraged and bins will be conveniently located throughout the space, the use of plastics will be limited, and reusable containers will be distributed. Furthermore, students will be given organic branded T-shirts to wear and their gift bags will be loaded with eco-friendly products. Plus, Mughelli will be working with the kids to focus on everyday ways they can help save their environment. There will be games, such as "Environmental Jeopardy," and seminars that focus on green living.

Local high school coaches will join Mughelli and other NFL players, such as Daniel Wilcox, Jason Snelling, Roddy White and Willie Whitehead, to demonstrate skills and encourage attendees' improvement. Sponsors include Primary Organics Medicine, Jaden’s Ladder, City of North Charleston, Trident Black Pages, Citadel Communications, Tuwa Elements of the Earth, Bojangles’, Alive Expo, West Ashley OB/GYN Garrett Academy of Technology, Charleston County Community Education, Charleston County Food Services, Charleston Sign and Banners, Homewood Suites- Hilton and Velocity Sports.
