The Sharks continue to honor his legacy by wearing a special patch on the back of their helmets, and now, through a youth football camp, the organization is turning that inspiration into action.
The Sharks and Jaguars Legends 2026 Youth Football Camp will be held Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Jax Beach Pop Warner Field and is open to boys and girls ages 7 to 13.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn football fundamentals from Sharks coaches and players alongside Jaguars greats.
Registration costs $95, and every dollar raised will benefit Fourth and Gold, a local charity dedicated to funding research into childhood cancer.
Organizers say the event is about much more than football; it’s an opportunity to honor Leo’s legacy while helping advance the fight against pediatric cancer.
