ORLANDO - July 21, 2010 – NBA All-Star and Olympic Gold Medal winner Dwight Howard will host two-days of basketball fundamentals and fun at the 2010 Old Spice Dwight Howard Basketball Camp August 2-4 at The University of Central Florida (UCF).

Howard, a long time philanthropist, is again donating the proceeds from his camp to the Florida Children's Hospital and the Dwight Howard's Big Change for Kids campaign. “I feel infinitely more successful off the court when I am able to use my celebrity to help a good cause,” says Howard. Each camp day, boys and girls ages 7 to 18 will experience various stations, specializing in fundamental skills and the team concept of basketball. Individual groups will be small to assure that each camper gets maximum instruction and daily games will be a staple in the 2010 Dwight Howard Basketball Camp. Each camper will be placed on a team according to his or her age. He or she will play a minimum of one game each day in addition to participating in various camp competitions. Dwight Howard will give daily talks highlighting the finer points of the game of basketball and beyond.

Parents and guests will be able to listen to camp guests in designated areas at each location. Every registered camper of the 2010 Dwight Howard Basketball Camp will receive 9 hours of expert instruction, an autographed camp team photo, an official camp T-shirt and opportunity to win contests and prizes.
