Reach 4 The Sky Summer Football & Cheerleading Camps was founded by Keith Rucker in 2004 and has been attended by over 10,000 children in the past 22 years. The program offers both boys and girls the opportunity to strengthen their character through athletics and is currently being offered in the Cincinnati and Chicago areas. The Reach 4 The Sky Foundation provides lunch, T-shirts and “Camper of the Day” awards, and campers are required to wear athletic shorts, a T-shirt, and gym shoes or cleats. Campers can arrive as early as 8:30am for registration, and the foundation and its staff are not responsible for any campers until 8:30am each morning; campers need to be picked up from camp each day no later than 1:00pm.

The mission of Reach 4 The Sky is “Strengthening Character Through Athletics,” and Keith’s vision in creating the foundation is to improve the lives of less fortunate children by strengthening their character through athletics. Keith Rucker, the founder, is a former NFL football player and the Defensive Coordinator at the University of Rio Grande. He played for 7 years in the National Football League for the Phoenix Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Redskins and Kansas City Chiefs, and he was an All-American in football and the first Division III football player in history to be invited to play in the Hula Bowl. He was also an NCAA Track & Field National Champion and All American, a 7-time All-American and 4-time National Champion in the shot put and discus, and an All-Conference basketball player averaging 10 points and 9 rebounds per game, and he has coached football at Capital University and the University of Rio Grande.

Reach 4 The Sky is partnering with Football University to offer a $200 discount to participants when registering for Football University.
