DeSean Jackson’s Foundation Is Bringing Its F.A.S.T Football Camp to Washington, D.C.

Three-time Pro Bowl WR DeSean Jackson lit-up the field in his first season with the Washington Redskins. Now in his first full off-season with the team, things are heating up with his charitable foundation as DeSean Jackson and his mother Mrs. Gayle Jackson establish themselves to a greater degree in the Washington, D.C. area.

The DeSean Jackson Foundation, a public charity, 501 (c) (3), was co-founded by CEO DeSean Jackson, and President Mrs. Gayle Jackson, in 2009. Its mission is to advance the common good by caring, cultivating, collaborating and advocating–One Team, One Purpose.

On June 5, 2015, the DeSean Jackson Foundation and DC State Athletic Association will partner-up to bring the DeSean Jackson F.A.S.T. Elite Football Camp and his elite Team Jackson to Washington, DC. DeSean Jackson and his foundation developed the F.A.S.T. camp concept his rookie season with the Philadelphia Eagles.

“What a terrific event for our city’s youth,” DCSAA Executive Director Clark Ray said. “We are thrilled to participate in this camp and assist DeSean Jackson and his foundation. DeSean is one of the game’s young stars and it is clear that making an impact in the community is important to him.”

DeSean Jackson prides himself at being very involved and present during the entire camp. He takes advantage of the opportunity to motivate the youth by his ‘hands on’ approach with football skills; and, delivering his message of inclusion, self-respect and respect for others, “One of One” and an Anti-Bullying campaign.

“I’m excited for the chance to get out and talk to District children about the importance of making good choices and conducting themselves in a proper manner,” said DeSean Jackson. “I know that the lessons I learned as a youth made a difference in my life and my goal is to spread this message.”

The F.A.S.T camps have been held in numerous cities on the East and West Coasts and in the state of Utah. Now, with Jackson in Washington, the F.A.S.T camp will touchdown in Northeast D.C at Riggs LaSalle Recreation Center.

The camp is open to D.C. youths ages 5 to 18. Registration is free for the first 200 registered.  Interested parents can register their children for the camp by visitinghttp://osse.dc.gov/event/desean-jackson-fast-elite-skills-football-camp.
