The mission of the foundation is "to provide support to youth sports and education programs, to enable students and provide them with the necessary tools to encourage them to reach their full potential." It seeks to inspire youths to become leaders and positive influences in their communities and to motivate them to achieve their dreams.

The free football camp for children ages 6-14 will begin at 10 a.m. on June 14 at King George High School. The camp is designed to build character and to instruct players in the basic fundamentals of football. Emphasis will be placed on positioning, skills and overall knowledge of the game.
NFL players who are expected to join Bushrod include the Bears' Roberto Garza and Matt Slauson, the Panthers' Roman Harper, the Ravens' Torrey Smith and Gerrard Sheppard, the 49ers' Jonathan Goodwin, the Jets' Johnny Patrick and the Buccaneers' Carl Nicks.
