Personal Information

Bio

In 1994, Cameron Hughes, fan, got up out of his seat at an Ottawa Senators game and spontaneously pumped up the fans into an inspired frenzy! What started out as a gag soon turned into a full-time career as a "Sports Entertainer", speaker and television host. To date, he has performed at over 850 live events at stadiums and arenas across North America for teams in 22 different leagues. With a career lasting over 22 years he is quite simply, the Ambassador of Cheer.

When you meet Cameron much of what he's done with his life comes as little surprise. His infectious energy, passion for fun and ability to bring people together are remarkable traits that have made it possible to live this extraordinary life.

He lost his mother to breast cancer in 1988 at the peak of his high school career. He went on to become school president, athlete and community leader. After a very "interesting" University career Cameron has been asked to be the keynote speaker for the Universities Orientation day for the last 9 years. Cameron was an active student leader, entrepreneur and Mr. Spirit while at Bishop's University. His mother continues to be his inspiration.

Some of Cameron's career highlights include- the voice of the award winning Labatt Blue "Out of the Blue" radio advertising campaign that lasted from 1998-2001 and hosting 2 seasons of "Game Face", a sports comedy series on The Comedy Network in Canada. As the Series host, he interviewed top athletes such as Steve Nash, Michael Andretti, Vince Carter, and Rob Blake, charming viewers with his charisma and comedy.

Cameron has spoken to over 250,000 students across Canada and the U.S. at inspirational pep rallies, is a keynote speaker for corporate sales seminars and hosts a charitable event each year called "For the Love of Breasts," a fundraiser for breast cancer research that has raised over $300,000 for breast cancer groups.

Not many people can ignite thousands of people with their energy and antics in the world. Cameron has that rare gift. Whether you sit beside him on a plane, get a high five at a game, or see him on television you realize his genuineness and zest for life are truly contagious.

Cameron lives in Venice, California where he likes to run, hike, play beach volleyball, hang with friends, attend sports and cultural events, travel, and explore.
