NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal is teaming up with multiple sponsors to bring toys, clothing, meals, and more to kids across the country this holiday season.
The annual Shaq-A-Claus event was held today at Wesley Lakes Elementary School in McDonough, Georgia with plenty of gifts, clothes, haircuts, pizza, and festive surprises for more than 750 children. Through his Shaquille O’Neal Foundation, the basketball legend is continuing his 22-year tradition of brightening the holidays. This December, Shaq-A-Claus will spread cheer throughout Atlanta, Las Vegas, New Jersey, and Orlando with the help of sponsors.
“This season can make some kids feel left out or different from their peers,” says O’Neal. “Every child deserves to experience the holiday magic and hosting these events keeps that joy alive. Thanks to the generosity of my sponsors, we can celebrate together, have great fun, make memories, and the kids go home feeling good.”
