CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was honored as a community advocate on Monday night in New York City.
The award was presented by the Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City during a black tie gala at the Waldorf Astoria. Among those attending was NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, a member of the BBBS board.
I was told by somebody attending the event that the reigning NFL MVP nailed his acceptance speech.
.@CameronNewton gave a great, inspirational speech about the power of mentoring at our #SidewalksofNY gala tonight!
