Now that's a Cam-eo.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cam Atkinson has taken to Cameo, the popular app where you can purchase personalized video messages from athletes and celebrities, to help out his community.

Atkinson has pledged that any funds he raises on Cameo will go to help struggling restaurants and businesses navigate the coronavirus pandemic.

The veteran of nine NHL seasons, all with the Blue Jackets, has been getting some work so far. In fact, he's already had some repeat customers, albeit unkowingly.

Great minds think alike 😂 https://t.co/1jcxY1zp6Z
