Cam Newton has been a lightning rod for controversy even before he was selected No. 1 overall by the Carolina Panthers in 2011. No stranger to the spotlight and critics alike, Newton has always done things his way, often with no apologies, trying to impact those around him and lead the Panthers football team.
The holiday season happens to coincide with Carolina Panthers football and Newton has always been supportive of those in the Charlotte and surrounding communities. His foundation, the Cam Newton Foundation, aims to impact the lives of young people in a variety of ways.
