Gabby Driscoll took several steps to support young girls on April 21 when she participated in the charity component of the Boston Marathon with team Dream Big! An Arnold resident and physical therapist, Driscoll raised over $10,000 of her team’s $185,000 total.
In less than five hours, she finished the 26.2-mile race, which began in the town of Hopkinton and ended in Boston’s Copley Square.
“Just like everyone says, the environment is electric,” Driscoll said. “I couldn’t believe the weather was as good as it was (sunny and breezy). I haven’t felt a sense of accomplishment like that in my life, although it was initially overshadowed by my shaky and heavy legs trying to get from the finish line to the Westin Hotel a few blocks over to meet my family.”
As the 2012 Severna Park High School graduate told the Voice in March, the idea started as a promise she made with a friend during their college days at Rutgers University.
With her marathon run, she supported Dream Big! The nonprofit empowers young girls from under-resourced communities by providing them with scholarships, mentorship and athletic opportunities.
“The weekend leading into the marathon, I learned how much of an impact running for a charity had, not just on the girls we helped, but for me to be a part of something so much bigger than running 26.2 miles,” she said. “I went to a Dream Big! brunch where three girls that have benefitted from this charity spoke about how they were fortunate to work with Dream Big! to help them get basketball scholarships. Having grown up in rough neighborhoods, seeing things a young kid shouldn’t see … and to see this same girl work with Dream Big! to get assistance to go to college showcases and become the Gatorade Player of the Year for her grade in basketball. I was touched and it really just hit home how fortunate we are.”
The Boston Marathon experience connected Driscoll with other runners and marathoners close to home in Anne Arundel County. “It’s an amazing community of very kind and selfless people,” she said of them.
“I will cherish this experience for the rest of my life,” she added.

Cardi B Surprises Stefon Diggs’ Youth Football Camp In Maryland

Cardi B has all the reason in the world to want to hole up and not deal with the outside world. A nasty divorce from the father of her kids, Offset, adds onto big career pressures and the trappings of fame. But love makes it all worth it, and she’s been having a great time with NFL star Stefon Diggs.
The couple recently went public, and according to AllHipHop, they are supporting each other’s endeavors whenever they can. The New York femcee recently popped out at the Diggs Day Football Camp in College Park, Maryland on Saturday (June 7).
The youth-focused community event takes place annually at the University of Maryland, the state native’s alma mater. Diggs gives local children, coaches, and community leaders opportunities to connect, hone their skills, and come together in the name of good sportsmanship, skill, growth, and camaraderie.
Michael Locksley, the University of Maryland’s football head coach for the Terrapins, posted a picture with Cardi on social media. “Welcome to #Terpsville @iamcardib @TerpsFootball #DiggsDay #Stef #Elevate,” he captioned the post. It was a surprise for most everyone involved, although she didn’t speak or take over the event or anything like that. Instead, Cardi was just there to support, which is always wholesome to see.
Cardi B “Outside” Song
Stefon Diggs is playing big for the New England Patriots these days, so the NFL wide receiver also uses his youth football camp to stay in community with his roots. Diggs Day’s focus on mentoring the next generation of athletes and community leaders through training drills and motivational exchanges will likely be one of his longest-lasting legacies.
Elsewhere, though, Cardi B took a break from the drama. This football camp outing paused her ongoing conflicts with Offset over their nasty public break-up and divorce proceedings.
In fact, it seems like this might even spill over onto wax. Cardi recently teased a track on social media that most fans are referring to as “Outside.” In it, she references men who “f**k on anything” and talks about being cuffed for too long, which seems to allude to the former Migo. We’ll see how that plays out moving forward…

Brock Bowers brings Las Vegas youth together at local camp
The Raiders star tight end hosted a local youth camp for kids ages six to 16 and over 200 athletes participated in the event.
“It’s really cool, and I really appreciate it that he’s coming out here for us,” Vegas local Armani said.

Not only was he a 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year finalist while breaking a 63-year-old NFL record for most receiving hards by a rookie tight end, but Bowers has also made an impression on our youth.
“He’s a really nice guy,” Vegas local Davian said. “He’s really good at catching, and I think that the Raiders can make it to the playoffs just with him.”
KTNV
Bowers tried to set a good example both on and off the field with this mentality in mind.
“Just doing your best in whatever you choose to do, whether it’s football or anything in life, if it’s a sport or not, just really committing yourself and doing the best you can,” Bowers said.

San Antonio Spurs forward Julian Champagnie hosted his youth basketball skills camp at the Los Fresnos United School in Los Fresnos.
85 kids registered for the camp that started at 12 p.m. and ended 4 p.m. They went through fundamental skills, dribbling, shooting and passing. The campers ended the day with a 5v5 game having the chance to go up against Champagnie.
Channel 5 news asked him about the importance of bringing these camps to the Valley.
“It’s super important because there aren’t any NBA games down here. I think we’re the closest ones out of the three Texas teams so coming out here is super important giving the kids something to look forward too and someone to look up too,” said Champagnie.
He also said he would love to come back out here and hopes to be here as soon as August.

Indiana All-Star games director Mike Broughton
“Azavier and Ella are great representatives for the Wooden/MCL Citizenship Award for the 2025 Indiana All-Stars,” Indiana All-Star games director Mike Broughton said. “Both Azavier and Ella had strong high school careers on and off the court. We wish them well as they take their talents to the college level.”
The Wooden/MCL Citizenship Awards have been presented to one All-Star boy and one All-Star girl annually since 1992. The awards are named for the late John Wooden, an outstanding player at Martinsville High School and Purdue University and later a 10-time NCAA championship coach at UCLA.
Wooden said when the award was established in 1992 –
“Since I am a strong believer in academic and citizenship awards, I am honored that MCL desires to use my name for this honor.”
MCL Restaurant & Bakery, based in Indianapolis, has sponsored the Wooden Citizenship Award for all 33 years that it has been presented. MCL also has supported the Indiana All-Star program for more than 35 years. The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association, organizers of the Indiana All-Stars, thanks MCL for its continued support.
