1. Richard Seymour BGC Foundation
Sponsors Summer Camp

2. The Richard Seymour BGC (Blessing God’s
Children) Foundation is dedicated to helping
young people thrive all year round. In the Lower
Richland area of South Carolina, the foundation
holds an annual Back to School event, Christmas
Gifting program, and a summer camp. Tanya
Seymour, BGC Foundation vice president and
summer camp coordinator, says, “Summer Camp
gives us the opportunity to reach a lot of children,
providing positive interaction, a learning
environment, and fun atmosphere.”

3. This past summer, Tanya Seymour says, the
camp’s theme was “Soldiers for God,” whereby
campers learned to fight against the common
enemies of gangs, violence, drugs, and negative
thinking. Camp attendees also enjoyed
extracurricular activities such as photography,
basketball, and dance, as well as a visit and
motivational talk by Richard Seymour, star NFL
defensive lineman and the foundation’s founder
and namesake. A veteran member of the New
England Patriots, he holds three Super Bowl
rings.
