Earlier today, the Carolina Panthers posted an album of photos on panthers.com of Cam Newton spending a day with some children courtesy of the Make-A-Wish and Cam Newton Foundations. Those photos can be found here.

The pictures depict Cam and the kids hanging out in the Panthers locker room, tossing a football on the field inside Bank of America stadium, and making pizzas.

Newton is often maligned and unfairly criticized by fans outside the Carolinas and even sometimes by fans of the team he’s played for since 2011. Despite that, he continues to do good deeds for the community without any pomp and circumstance or extra effort to make his efforts known to the general population. You may question the hats he chooses to wear. You may question why he dyed his goatee blond last year. But you can’t question that he has a big heart and that we’re fortunate to have such a benevolent man quarterbacking our favorite team.
