Longview Regional Medical Center has been the Most Valued Player sponsor since the camp’s inception. The free camp is open to 100 kids. Proceeds from the camp benefits his Foundation and the Boys and Girls Club. According to David Wesley, he enjoys being home contributing to the lives of the future generation.
“I like being with the kids,’ said Wesley. “I want to let them know that they can be anything they put want to be.”
“We enjoy doing it, we love the kids,” said his father Donald Wesley. “We like giving back to the community, too.”
Joseph Pietro, who helps organize the camp, said the camp is free to the children because of local sponsors such as Longview Regional Medical Center, Texas Bank and Trust, ABC Auto, Rod Bassett State Farm Insurance, Wesley and Co., and others. In the camp, participants learn sportsmanship and interpersonal and communication skills, among other things. “There are no free camps in this town,” said Pietro.
“Moreover, the kids are even insured for the camp and well fed for the two days.” At the end of the camp, participants have their photo taken with David Wesley who autographs it for them.
