    the way he does it is more impressive, IMO.

    he takes like 12 kids to a toys-r-us and gives them 80 seconds to throw whatever they want in a cart.

    think about how much fun that's gotta be for these kids.

    incredible story. love me some andre. wish more athletes would do this.

    Ok....So when I get off work, I'm going to go to Wal-Mart, pick a random kid, and give him 20 bucks to go buy something, will that be considered "phenomenal"?

    $19,000 is a significant amount of money no matter how much he makes. It's even more significant to the kids.

    For one, you'd never give a random kid 20 bucks so quiet down. And for two, would you rather him not give anything? Plus he does it every year, can't remember how many years he's done it, but it's been consistent so that 19k adds up. Quit hating on the man.

    This. Not one of those kids are going to care how much money he has, they will care he spent some on them and he didn't have to.

    ...And did you see that Giroux goal?

    completely agree


    and god how fun would it be one of kids that was given the chance for a free for all load your cart up with whatever you want at a toy store spree.... Its alot better than writing up a cheque and dropping it off imo


    good for him, cant beleive some people are trying to spin this out of spite that they dont have the type of $$$ to do good gestures like this

    Winner!

    he does this every year. While I love acknowledging athletes that give to charity, so many of them do it, I feel its almost an injustice to point out only a few. Besides, its a tax write off, why the hell wouldn't you do it if you made millions? You not only get to keep some of that cash the govt wants, you get made to look like a charitable person. win-win

    If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.
