We’re thrilled to see For My Kidz—a BCYF grantee—featured in Baltimore Fishbowl for their powerful, community-rooted work honoring the legacy of NFL star and Baltimore native Keion Carpenter.
“Keion was more than an athlete—he was a changemaker. For My Kidz is carrying that torch, helping young people feel seen, celebrated, and supported.” — Baltimore Fishbowl
The feature highlights Keion Carpenter Weekend, a 3-day celebration organized by For My Kidz that brought Baltimore together through mentorship, sports, and joy. From a celebrity basketball tournament to youth wellness workshops and a scholarship presentation, the weekend embodied what it means to lead with love and legacy.
Why this matters for youth in Baltimore:
- A spotlight on youth leadership. For My Kidz empowers young people not just as participants—but as future changemakers.
- Healing through joy. Sports, celebration, and community are used as tools to uplift, connect, and inspire.
- Legacy meets opportunity. Keion Carpenter’s life work—mentorship, equity, and giving back—continues through real programs serving today’s youth.
