The Cam Newton Foundation has donated $150,000 to three Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. The money will be divided evenly among Bradley, Randolph and Thomasboro Academy middle schools and will be used for activities and resources that boost school pride, the foundation said. Newton, a second-year quarterback with the Carolina Panthers, made the official announcement in an auditorium packed with cheering children and teachers at Randolph Middle. He encouraged the students to stay in school and get an education, regardless of their career plans. The donation was part of the foundation’s newly formed School Pride Program.
