CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers star quarterback Cam Newton along with members of his family and more than 50 volunteers hosted Cam's Thanksgiving Jam on Monday night for the third year in a row.
More than 800 underprivileged kids and their families were served a traditional Thanksgiving meal.
“To see the kids and see the parents come out and to share a plate, to share a moment, to share a conversation with them is always beneficial," Newton said.
