Los Angeles Rams make incredible humanitarian gesture with unique minicamp decision that hopefully starts a new trend across the NFL

This decision was announced today by the Governor of Hawai'i, Josh Green, M.D., and the President of the Los Angeles Rams, Kevin Demoff. Such a move was made to promote tourism to Hawai'i and Maui. 

As part of the partnership, "Mauicamp" will take place from Monday, June 16th to Thursday, June 19th when the Rams bring their Minicamp to Maui. On Tuesday, June 17th and Wednesday, June 18th, the Rams will host on-field team activities that will feature players in workout gear at War Memorial Stadium in Wailuku.

Hawai'i Governor Josh Green released a statement acknowledging the many Rams fans on the island and throughout the state:

"This new partnership we are kicking off honors long-standing fandom for the LA Rams by many Hawai'i residents and is sure to build even more fan loyalty in the islands. We are super-excited to welcome, along with the Hawai'i Tourism Authority, the Rams Minicamp to Maui. Back in 2019, the Rams played in front of the largest crowd in Aloha Stadium history and engaged with our local communities, and we remain connected to this day. Rams players will feel the warm aloha and hospitality of our islands once again, and in turn, the team will uplift members of the community that have endured so much since the 2023 Maui wildfires."

During the devastating wildfires in Maui back in 2023, the Rams dedicated a preseason game to help raise funds for people affected by the fires. Through auctions and sales of the "Mālama Maui" t-shirts, the Rams raised over $350k in funds dedicated to relief efforts. 

The Rams will be doing plenty of events on the island in partnership with the fans and people of Maui. 

On Tuesday, players and staff of the team will host a girls' flag football and boys' football clinic for over 400 local student-athletes at War Memorial Stadium following the team activities. They will also be working alongside Habitat for Humanity to assist in rebuilding homes in Lahaina.

On Wednesday, the Rams will host a Play-60 Field Day for local children ages 5-12 who participate in the County of Maui's Play and Learn Sessions Summer program on the field at War Memorial Stadium.

This is a tremendous step and an amazing gesture and partnership for both the Rams and the people of Maui and Hawai'i. We sometimes get too caught up in the business side of the NFL and don't see the human side of the league often. It's a remarkable achievement that's more than just a camp in Hawai'i.
