Last year’s event took up half of TopGolf’s Charlotte location. This time around, Cam Newton wanted his Thanksgiving Jam to be even bigger.
So he and his foundation rented out the entire building.
In partnership with Harris Teeter, the seventh installment of Newton’s annual event welcomed — and fed — 1,200 underprivileged kids and some of their family members Monday before sending them home with a Thanksgiving meal for Thursday’s holiday.
But even with the wildly successful event, which increased in attendance by 50 percent from 2017, Newton said there’s more to be done.
