NAMI Charlotte Event - AUG 2012 "Jam for Cam" Benefit Concert


CHARLOTTE, NC -- Jam for Cam is a FREE benefit concert being held on Saturday, August 25th from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at The Saloon, located in the NC Music Factory. 


This concert, hosted by the Shelton family to benefit the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), is being held in remembrance of Cameron Shelton. 
Donations to the Charlotte Chapter of NAMI will be accepted.

Cameron Wade Shelton, a 23-year-old student at UNC-Charlotte, passed away on June 22nd. Cameron was working toward his bachelor’s degrees in Finance and English. He was an avid surfer and talented musician with a love for guitar. Cameron was a kind person with a thirst for knowledge and an inspiration to all who knew him.


NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, strives to educate the community about mental illness and provide resources for those coping with it. There are over 200,000 people in Mecklenburg County with a mental illness, many of whom suffer in silence and without resources. NAMI’s goal for this concert is to ensure that the community knows where to turn in the event that they are in need of these resources.
