Panthers’ Rookies Surprise Youth Football Teams

Members of five football teams from the Carolinas were treated to the experience of their young lives Tuesday at Bank of America Stadium. In partnership with Academy Sports + Outdoors, the Panthers gave a $1,000 equipment grant to the teams that were selected from a long list of applicants. After they had toured the stadium, members of each winning team ran onto the field where they were surprised by the entire Panthers' rookie class.
