It’s the Season for Giving and the Dallas Mavericks are doing just that.
Several players took families of the Christian Community Action of Lewisville (CCA) on a fun-filled holiday shopping spree last week.
Mavericks players Dwight Powell, Maxi Kleber, JaVale McGee and Tim Hardaway Jr. all accompanied the families shopping for the holidays at SCHEELS, an employee-owned sporting goods and entertainment retailer. Each family was able to shop for gifts for loved ones with a special gift from SCHEELS ($500 per family) and the Mavs for the holiday season.
The Holiday Shopping Spree is part of the Season of Giving – the NBA and Dallas Mavericks commitment to brighten the holiday season for thousands of children and families. Powell and Hardaway Jr. also both made a $10,000 donation to Pay Away the Layaway, helping 100 families in North Texas pay off their balances for the holidays.
