Another holiday, another Cam Newton feel good story. The quarterback, who is still hated by most regardless of the wealth he give’s back to the community.
His latest wardrobe didn’t feature any feathers, grandma sweaters or flashy loafers, but rather as Santa. The Panthers quarterback spent Tuesday traveling around Charlotte donating to underprivileged kids via his foundation spreading the holiday joy.

The third stop was Bethlehem Center, which provides after-school care to low-income kids. (Kids asked for a Lexus with another asking for 2 million dollars)

In total, Newton distributed a total of $100,000 in funds. Not bad for a day’s work.
