Bryce Young recently shared a heartwarming moment from his Young 9 Foundation football camp in Charlotte. The Carolina Panthers quarterback recalled an interaction with a young camper who asked him if he had $1,000, a question that brought smiles and laughter to everyone involved.
The camper’s innocent curiosity highlighted the joy and wonder that children bring to such events. Young responded with humor and kindness, recalling how, as a child, he also thought $1,000 was the most money anyone could have. The moment served as a reminder of how impactful these camps can be, not just for the children but for the athletes hosting them.

Young’s camp, which focuses on football skills and mental health awareness, offered more than just athletic training. Alongside his teammates and coaches, Young shared tools like meditation and breathing exercises to help kids manage stress and emotions. His efforts reflect a commitment to using his platform to support the next generation both on and off the field.
The Panthers quarterback has often spoken about the importance of mental health, a lesson he credits to his upbringing. As the child of a psychologist and a teacher, Young grew up in an environment that emphasized emotional well-being. His foundation seeks to extend that same support to children who may not have access to such resources.
