Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey and linebacker Shaq Thompson announced a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Charlotte and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department on a youth sports program aimed at underserved youth.
"Sports have always been an important place for mentorship, support, and growth for me," McCaffrey wrote in Monday's release. "By teaming up with Shaq and our partners, we hope that this is one small step toward better unifying our community and setting a promising path forward for our youth. When we come together on a field of play, it helps unite us everywhere else.
