Students at Camden Middle School got a different kind of science lesson on Tuesday, August 19th. Particularly, a lesson involving “the sweet science”. The student body came together to hear from retired US amateur boxing legend Cam F. Awesome at an assembly held in the Camden High School Auditorium.
Awesome, previously known as Lenroy Thompson, is the winningest amateur boxer in US History. He is a four-time US National Champion in super heavyweight boxing, and a three-time winner of the prestigious Golden Gloves tournament. He has over 325 career wins.
After hanging up the gloves for good, Awesome now tours the globe speaking at schools, community events, and corporate events. To Camden, he brought a message of gratitude, positivity, and the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone to achieve your goals.
Want to learn more about Cam's story and bring it into your home? He was featured in the 2017 film "Counterpunch", streaming now on Netflix!
Cam also spoke to Camden High School students today!
Mark your calendars for October 28th as the Camden PBA holds its very popular "Spooktacular" event!
