Greg Rousseau Highlights the Purpose Behind the Event
Buffalo Bills Defensive End Greg Rousseau expressed the foundation’s mission, saying,
“For me, this is about opportunity. We started the foundation to create real access for kids who may not always have it,”
and added,
“Bringing everyone together in Rochester for that purpose means a lot. It’s going to be competitive, and it’s going to be fun, but the bigger goal is making a lasting impact.”
