CALABASAS, CA — Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp hosted a free, coed football camp at Calabasas High School for more than 200 kids including 100 members of the North East Lincoln Rams. The kids ranged from 6- 12 years of age, learned a series of various football drills while learning the importance of leadership, teamwork and more.
Kupp, along with Kilburn Live, provided transportation for the participating Lincoln Rams who reside in the Ramona Gardens public housing development in Boyle Heights. In addition, Kupp provided t-shirts, mini footballs, stress balls, and surprise giveaways for some of the kids that participated.
In December 2022, the Rams launched a partnership with the North East Lincoln Tigers, a youth football program coached by Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers serving youth in the Ramona Gardens public housing development, that included renaming the youth football program the North East Lincoln Rams. As part of the partnership, the Rams fund all football components of the program, including uniforms and equipment. The team also provides engagement opportunities with current players, alumni, coaches, scouts and the football operations staff, as well as develop programs that focus on character development and community service to expand their knowledge and ignite their passions beyond the playing field.
