Children from the Charlotte area were invited to “Shop With A Jock ,” Cam Newton’s holiday charity event where 20 elementary school students were treated to a $150 shopping spree at Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Students were chosen to participate in the event based their grades and behavior in class, as well as a written essay.
Newton, along with teammates Brandon Lafell and Derek Anderson helped the kids, who were also given a t-shirt, Under Armour book bag, and Beats by Dre headphones in addition to $150 dollars to spend, pick out shoes and clothes at the sporting goods store.
Yet another wonderful event by Newton’s foundation. He’s stayed true to his commitment to being active in schools in the Charlotte community.
