Guilford County family honors their late son with charity football game

The Robertson family lost their only son Cameron in a tragic accident last year. This Saturday, they'll hold the Cameron Sports Agency's 2nd Turkey Bowl in his honor

GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — Update: Due to rain, the Turkey Bowl scheduled for Friday will be postponed until Saturday, November 26. 

A Guilford County family is turning their grief into giving this Thanksgiving.

The Robertson family lost their only son Cameron in a tragic accident last year.  That Thanksgiving, mom Kia and dad Omar started a foundation in their son's honor.

"Cameron was a brilliant 6-year-old boy who loved playing basketball, baseball, and football.  He was starting to make new friends on a new football team," said Cameron's mom, Kia Robertson.

Cameron's parents, Kia and her husband Omar, started a foundation in their son's honor.  The foundation is hosting the Second Annual Cameron Sports Academy Turkey Bowl on Saturday, November 26.  Roberston said the boys and girls ages 5 to 12 can play flag football and celebrate Cam's life while the Robertsons can continue to heal.

"Every day is a struggle.  I wake up, and I'm still in disbelief.  No one imagines living without a child," said Robertson.  "We are keeping his name alive, giving back to the community, and keeping Cameron included in our day-to-day lives!"

The 2nd Annual Cameron Sports Academy Turkey Bowl flag football game will take place on Saturday, November 26 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.  The event is free, and you can sign up now.
