The Herm Edwards Youth Football Camp Presented by First National Bank to Return in 2008
The Kansas City Chiefs and First National Bank today announced that they are continuing a partnership that will lead
to an exciting opportunity for 1,000 area youth football players.
The Herm Edwards Youth Football Camp,
presented by First National Bank, will be held in Kansas City for the second time on May 17th and May
18th at the Chiefs Practice Facility. Over 150 volunteer coaches will assist the Chiefs coaching staff and
players in providing instruction for football and more importantly, the skills necessary to become winners in the game
of life. During the course of the camp, Edwards will share seven core concepts with the campers and will expound on
their importance both in life and on the football field – Expectations, Priorities, Commitment, Choices, Integrity,
Teamwork and Sportsmanship.
“My family is very excited that the Chiefs and First National Bank have teamed up once again to bring our football
camp to Kansas City,” Edwards commented. “These youngsters will leave our camp with a solid understanding of some basic
football fundamentals, but more importantly, we hope to send them back to their communities and schools as better
citizens and students.”
“First National Bank is excited to sponsor this event for the second year,” noted First National Bank President Mike
Earleywine. “Last year our bank saw 1,000 children walk away from this event with an experience they will never forget.
Coach Edwards is such an inspiration to these young children. We applaud him for making a difference in the lives of so
many Kansas City youth.”
Edwards’ name has become synonymous with this type of endeavor. While this represents the second year for the Herm
Edwards Youth Football Camp in Kansas City, it is far from the first youth camp this seven-year NFL head coaching
veteran has organized. Having grown up on the Monterey Peninsula and graduated from Monterey High School, he hosts a
similar clinic in his native California each summer. Entering its 13th season in 2008, Edwards’ California camp is a
rousing success and has grown in size each year. That version quickly served as Edwards’ inspiration to bring a similar
camp to Kansas City.
The Herm Edwards Youth Football Camp presented by First National Bank is the latest in the organization’s commitment
to support youth football initiatives. Other youth football programs that the Chiefs are involved with include honoring
a High School Coach of the Week and Year for both Kansas and Missouri, inviting over 3,000 youth football players and
coaches to the annual Chiefs Youth Football Game, has donated over $1 million in Grassroots field grants to local
agencies and schools, partnering with the National Football Foundation’s “Play it Smart” program as well as the NFL’s
Junior Player Development skills camp and will be a pilot program for the new Atlas & Athena substance abuse
curriculum.
First National Bank was established in Kansas in 1993 as part of one of the oldest and most successful financial
organizations in the Midwest, First National of Nebraska. Since its founding, First National Bank has established an
outstanding reputation in the community and has grown to $1.1 billion in assets.
Herm Edwards Needs Your Help
The 2008 Herm Edwards Youth Football Camp presented by First National Bank will be held on Saturday, May 17 thru
Sunday, May 18. This free camp will instruct 1,000 youth on some fundamentals of both football and life.
Still, an endeavor of this magnitude can’t happen without the help of others. That’s why Herm Edwards is asking for
your assistance. If you think you’ve got what it takes to join his team and serve as a volunteer coach at this camp,
please click the link below.
As an added incentive, Coach Edwards and his Chiefs staff will be holding a complementary Coaching Clinic on Friday,
May 16 for any individuals volunteering to coach at his camp.

Chiefs Partner with Greater Kansas City Community Foundation for Charity Game Selection Process
The Kansas City Chiefs have announced that
there is a new selection process for 501(c) (3) agencies interested in becoming a recipient of the annual Chiefs
Charity Game.
The Chiefs and the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation will jointly administer the application process for
qualified agencies who must submit a preliminary letter of interest to the Greater Kansas City Community.
Organizations applying must hold 501(c) (3) status and primarily serve Jackson County youth. For more requirements
as well as information on the application and selection process please consult http://www.gkccf.org/nonprofits.aspx?id=1228&menu_id=38
“Since my father brought the Chiefs to Kansas City 45 years ago, our family has considered it a responsibility and
an honor to serve the communities of our fans, particularly our fans in Jackson County,” Chiefs Chairman Clark Hunt
said.
“Since its inception in 1984, the Chiefs Children’s Charity Game has raised nearly $6 million for worthy causes
throughout the Kansas City community. By partnering with the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, we plan to build
upon the Chiefs legacy of service and provide opportunities and funding to a wider range of non-profit organizations
over time that work diligently to strengthen our community.”
“We’re excited that the Chiefs are rallying the community together in the spirit of making Kansas City a better
place,” said Laura McKnight, president and CEO of the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation. “Their commitment to
supporting local nonprofit organizations through a competitive selection process demonstrates their passion for making
an impact with their charitable giving and improving our region’s quality of life.”
Over the years, the Chiefs and the Chiefs Children’s Fund have worked with generous individuals and businesses in
Kansas City to make life better for children in our community. Over the past three years combined, the game has amassed
nearly $2 million for disadvantaged Kansas City children, including a record $750,000 in 2005. Celebrating its 24th
season this year, the game is recognized throughout the NFL as the top charity game.
The mission of the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation is to improve the quality of life in Greater Kansas City
by increasing charitable giving, connecting donors to community needs they care about, and providing leadership on
critical community issues. The Community Foundation, including its six affiliates within the Greater Kansas City
region, is recognized as a national leader in making sure every philanthropic investment returns the greatest
emotional, civic and financial benefit possible.
DRIVE AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER
Five local organizations concerned about men’s health have teamed up to bring a one-of-a-kind venue to screen men
for prostate cancer and educate them and their families about risk, early detection and clinical trials. The Drive
Against Prostate Cancer features a 39-foot recreational vehicle, provided by the National Prostate Cancer
Coalition, specifically designed for prostate cancer screening and equipped with a large flat screen TV, satellite
programming, access to the Internet, healthy snacks and an informal “locker room” atmosphere.
Hundreds of men can be screened for free each day from December 15-18. The screening consists of a simple blood test
and a physical examination. Local physicians will provide these free and confidential screenings in as little as 10
minutes without an appointment. Each man will receive a notification letter than explains the test results, and
provides a list of local resources for follow-up care and additional information.
The Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Cancer Center, Gail’s Harley Davidson, Cerner Corporation, American Cancer
Society, and DST Systems, Inc. have joined forces to bring the Drive to Kansas City. While the screenings will
be offered at several locations over the four days, perhaps the most visible location will be on December 16 as
thousands of fans will see the vehicle as they enter Arrowhead Stadium.
“We, at the Chiefs, are pleased to join with our marketing partners in supporting this effort to increase prostate
cancer awareness. This disease has personally touched our organization as we lost our founder Lamar Hunt to it this
past year. The Kansas City Chiefs are committed to helping encourage our male fans everywhere to get screened each
year. Early detection is the key to controlling and eliminating this disease,” said Carl Peterson, President/GM/CEO of
Kansas City Chiefs Football Club.
One in every six men will get prostate cancer sometime in his life with more than 218,000 new cases expected this
year. An estimated 27,000 men will die this year from prostate cancer. “We are pleased to be partnering with other
leading organizations in the area, especially the Kansas City Chiefs, to increase the awareness of prostate cancer and
the importance of screening that can not only save lives but save quality of life,” said Mark Myron, MD, President of
Kansas City Cancer Center.
Visit the National Prostate Cancer Coalition online at www.fightprostatecancer.org for full details of each screening event in
Kansas City (including dates, times, locations), or for more information on prostate cancer prevention, early
detection, and treatment.

The Herm Edwards Youth Football Camp, presented by First National Bank, was held in Kansas City for the first time
on May 19th and May 20th at the Chiefs Practice Facility. Utilizing over 150 volunteer coaches and various other
volunteers, members of the Chiefs coaching staff and Chiefs players provided instruction about football and more
importantly, the skills necessary to become winners in the game of life. During the course of the camp, Edwards shared
seven core concepts with the over 1,100 campers and spoke on their importance both in life and on the football field –
Expectations, Priorities, Commitment, Choices, Integrity, Teamwork and Sportsmanship.
“My family was very excited that the Chiefs and First National Bank teamed up to bring this football camp to Kansas
City,” Edwards commented. “I feel that these youngsters left our camp with a solid understanding of some basic football
fundamentals, but more importantly, I hope we sent them back to their communities and schools as better citizens and
students.”
“First National Bank was excited to sponsor this event,” added First National Bank President Stuart Lang. “This camp
truly focused on fun, instilling leadership, teamwork and a sense of fair play.”
This free camp was open to children, ages 10-17. Registration for this camp filled up in less than a week.
Edwards is no stranger to this type of camp. Having grown up on the Monterey Peninsula and graduated from Monterey
High School, he hosts a similar clinic in his native California each summer. Entering its 12th season in 2007, Edwards’
California camp is a rousing success and has grown in size each year. Shortly after becoming the Chiefs 10th head coach
in 2006, he proposed the concept of bringing a similar camp to Kansas City.
The Herm Edwards Youth Football Camp presented by

Chiefs Join “TeamSmile” in Recognition of Kansas City Oral Health Care Day
On Saturday, September 22nd — opening weekend at
Arrowhead Stadium — TeamSmile will hold its second annual dental outreach program, ‘Kansas City Oral Health Care
Day’.
TeamSmile is a non-profit organization that teams up with
the Kansas City Chiefs and Colgate to provide quality dental care to the underserved children of Kansas City. With the
help of local dental professionals, Sullivan-Schein Dental, DEXIS Digital X-Ray, MetLife, Humana, Guardian, Assurant,
Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Kansas City, Septodont and select dental manufacturers, TeamSmile will provide oral health
education and free dental screenings and treatment. The UMKC dental school will again be apart of the program, and will
provide dental screenings in the Colgate’s “Brighter Smiles, Brighter Futures’ RV.
TeamSmile is a state-of-the-art program; it is the first dental outreach program on record to have integrated a
complete computer network. This network, powered by Dentrix Dental Systems and DEXIS Digital Sensors, will allow the
dental volunteers to electronically store the children’s x-rays and procedure records. This means more efficient and
more effective high-quality care.
Last year, the outreach program treated one hundred thirty children. This year TeamSmile hopes to treat between
three and four hundred children. Organizations that are being served are ‘Operation Breakthrough’, ‘Academics First,
Athletics Second’ and ‘The Clay Johnson Foundation’. And, for the first time this year, ‘Kansas City Oral Health Care
Day’ will be open to the public from 3-5 PM. Children ages two through sixteen can get a free dental screening and
fluoride treatment.
There will be free giveaways, games, face painting and entertainment, as well as appearances by MetLife Snoopy, the
Kansas City Chiefs mascot KC Wolf, the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders, Dustin Colquitt Chiefs punter, and Colgate’s
Dr. Rabbit and Dr. Brushwell. The TeamSmile football exhibition team will also be there to throw the football around
and give tips to the kids for their upcoming football seasons! And free athletic mouth guards will be passed out while
supplies last.
