Every1 Gives.” And I hope that you all will visit their site to learn more about their initiatives, but just in case you don’t have time for a click, let me break it down to you like this: Events like this one are Cam’s main sources of fundraising for his foundation – CNF focuses their programs on kids, promoting the mantra “Every1 Learns. Now for the obligatory “it’s for a good cause” statement, and let’s be honest, that’s the most important part of the entire event. We’ve seen the list and trust us – there are some fun names on there. Cam brings out the stars, and this year will be no different. In addition to most of the Panthers roster in attendance, last year we got to see Terrell Owens, Muggsy Bogues, Josh Norman, Cody Zeller, Jameis Winston and Montell Jordan – just to name a few. There are plenty of home runs, pegs with the ball, and several over-the-fence dives for outs where you’ll hear several people yelling the ESPN SportsCenter jingle – if you’ve ever wanted to see a 300 pound offensive lineman yelling at a 150 pound volunteer kickball referee because he thought he was safe, you’ll want to spend some time at Memorial Stadium this year. Watching your favorite team’s players on the kickball field is quite entertaining – these guys want to win (and beat Cam’s team especially) in the worst way and they aren’t afraid to get after it. The Panthers will be finishing up OTAs, so most of the players are there and are on teams – off the top of my head I remember seeing Luke Kuechly, Damiere Byrd, Devin Funchess, Fozzy Whittaker, Charles Johnson, and Austin Duke all on teams last year. Last year there were almost 20 kickball teams and each team had at least two celebrity players. First of all, the list of celebrity athletes is LOADED. I was a volunteer for the tournament last year and I can tell you it’s definitely a great event for not just Carolina Panthers fans, but anyone who enjoys a day outside watching your favorite celebrities having a great time and raising money for charity.
