About Heart Power, Inc.
Our Mission
Heart Power, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting youth and their families who are in search of positive, encouraging influences in their lives. Through devotion of time, effort, and abilities, we invoke a commitment to excellence despite one’s current circumstances.
Our Story
Founded in 2010 by Champ and Stephanie Kelly, Heart Power, Inc. began with a vision: to make a direct impact and positive influence on local youth while enhancing the communities that nurtured their own paths to success.
From the humble beginnings of the 1st annual C.H.A.M.P. Camp in 2010, Heart Power has been exploring ways to maximize its impact on young lives. As our foundation continues to grow, so does our circle of friends and supporters—people from all walks of life who believe in the power of mentorship and positive influence.
The C.H.A.M.P. Camp Experience
Our most visible programs are the two-day, non-contact football camps for youth ages 10-18. But C.H.A.M.P. Camps are about much more than athletics—they’re an opportunity for our staff to directly impact youth in a meaningful and lasting way.
What C.H.A.M.P. Stands For
The C.H.A.M.P. Camp instills core values through sport-specific skill instruction and inspiring guest speakers:
- Character
- Heart
- Attitude
- Motivation
- Purpose
On the Field
Since the inaugural camp in 2010, C.H.A.M.P. Camps have been extremely successful in teaching football fundamentals while building character. Our approach is tailored to skill level:
- Younger and less experienced campers: We stress the basics and fundamentals
- Older campers: Advanced training and technique refinement
- All campers: Competitive one-on-ones and extensive group work
Off the Field
Along with on-field instruction, our speakers and coaches educate campers on the core values necessary for success in life. Our guest speakers include local community leaders, former collegiate and NFL athletes, and other positive role models who deliver powerful messages on life skills and the importance of making good decisions.
Recent camp topics have included:
- Anti-bullying
- Accountability and respect for peers
- Health and nutrition
- Preparation and perseverance
- College entrance requirements
- The importance of education
Our Reach
The C.H.A.M.P. Camps currently operate successfully in Florida and Nevada (Las Vegas), with programs also hosted in Kentucky, Colorado, and Illinois.
Our Community
Heart Power’s support structure includes people from all walks of life:
- Collegiate and professional athletes
- Coaches and mentors
- Business leaders
- Community members who believe in our vision
These dedicated individuals have joined our cause because they believe in the possibility of creating lasting change in the lives of young people.
Looking Forward
We are always diligently working to establish new avenues to provide consistent mentorship for today’s youth. Every camp, every conversation, and every connection brings us closer to a future where every young person has access to the guidance and support they need to thrive—both on and off the field.
