It was a night of treats for a very sick North Carolina boy who got to celebrate Halloween early with the help of his community and a big boost of sweets from a couple of Panthers — the football kind.
North Carolina quarterback Cam Newton paid a surprise visit to the block party set up by several dozen neighbors of 10-year-old Elijah Aschbrenner, who has a rare form of cancer called epithelioid sarcoma.
The boy learned last week the disease had spread and that he might not make it to Halloween, so his community immediately rallied to throw him a party in honor of his favorite holiday.
A few days earlier, Newton had called Elijah to say hello and help lift his spirits, but he caught everyone off guard when he showed up at Friday night's party — bringing with him an ice cream truck and 22 boxes of Elijah's favorite dessert, brownies from Papa John's Pizza.
Newton also brought dinner for the event, including steak, shrimp and various sides such as mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese.
Becky Hughes, Elijah's mom, said she started bawling as soon as she saw Newton.
