Vincent Orlando Cam Newton’s fifth annual “Cam’s Thanksgiving Jam” featured loud dance music, heaping mounds of turkey and 800-plus families and children – at least one of whom saw the Panthers quarterback in a new light Monday night.
“I was serving my greasy, cheesy, unbelievable mac ‘n’ cheese, one of the kids told me, I thought you was fake. That just tells you how kids think,” Newton said. “For me just being here and being able to be touched, being talked to, that goes a long way.” Cam Newton partnered again with the Second Harvest Food Bank to have a turkey giveaway type thanksgiving at a nightclub. “I vowed to myself that if I get put in my position – there’s never enough things that you can do for a community. So nights like tonight are important to me and will forever be important to me.” Newton said. The Cam Newton Foundation provided more than 800 underprivileged kids a traditional Thanksgiving meal. In addition, each guest received a full second serving to prepare at home. “I’m hoping,” Newton said when asked if this could be the kids’ most memorable Thanksgiving. “That’s what you have a foundation for. Just to make an impact, bigger than yourself. I play football on Sundays, but so much of me is bigger than football and there’s more to it than running touchdowns and throwing touchdowns.”
