"We are going to be there from early in the morning to work on this project, and after this we are going to Munro College to play a football match," he said.

Campbell said he makes it a point of duty to give back to children through schools, since he wasn't afforded the opportunity to complete his high school education.

"As a very loyal Jamaican, the kids are very important to me and we should always look to help the kids and this will in turn help with our crime rate in our country," Campbell said. "We are appealing to the persons in and around Malvern, St Elizabeth, to come and support this venture because it is for a worthy cause," Campbell stated. So far, Western Sports, NCB Foundation, Locker Room Sports, Cement Company, Tank-Weld Metals and Food For The Poor are some of the main sponsors of the event.

Admission is $300, while children under 10 will be allowed free access.
