NFL players gather from around the country to support Palm Beach County youth at the Brandon Flowers Charity Event Weekend. Prep & Sports, Inc. is a non-profit organization founded in 2005 by NFL players to help young people attain the education and inspiration to attend college.

“I wish every kid could be a part of this program. I know this program makes a difference for a student athlete, said Brandon Flowers, Defensive Back Kansas City Chiefs. Flowers hosts a 7-on-7 tournament in Palm Beach each July. ”7-on-7 football is a big, big thing in Florida so I bring in all of the best high schools around, and I let them battle it out for a big gold trophy at the end of the competition,” Flowers said to journalist Derek Ciapala.
