On the last weekend in June every year, Cardinal Mooney holds one of their biggest fund-raisers of the year when they host a bocce tournament at Youngstown's MVR club and then play host to a two-day youth football camp at their high school. Many prominent Mooney alumni in the sports world return for this special event that spans three days. Here's an exclusive look in pictures at both the bocce tourney and the Camp of Champions.
