On June 21, 2025, the Joey Porter Jr. & NFL Friends Football Camp, presented by the Citrone 33 Foundation, brought excitement, mentorship, and inspiration to the Chartiers Playground. Hosted in partnership with the Jasmine Nyree Campus, this free, community event gave kids an unforgettable day of football, encouragement, and personal growth.
Joey Porter Jr. and several of his NFL friends spent the day working hands-on with youth participants, leading drills, coaching technique, and offering guidance both on and off the field. Their presence made a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.
Throughout the day, young athletes moved through stations that focused on football fundamentals and team-building. The positive energy, support from the pros, and pure joy on the field created an atmosphere that reminded everyone why community events like this matter.
The Jasmine Nyree Campus, located right in the heart of Sheraden, is more than a space—it’s a safe haven and hub for opportunity. Offering youth development programs, academic enrichment, mentorship, and services for adults with disabilities, the Campus is committed to empowering the next generation and building a stronger Pittsburgh. Events like the football camp bring that mission to life in powerful ways.
Mark your calendar: Joey Porter Jr. and the Jasmine Nyree Campus are teaming up again for a Back-to-School Event on August 15—another free community celebration focused on equipping kids with the tools they need to start the school year strong.
