Ward and Terrance Knighton poise for a pictures with kids from North Middle School. It's that special time of year again. And for some people, it might be a rough time financially. Fortunately for a few lucky students at North Middle School in Aurora, some Colorado pro athletes decided to get together and make their holidays a little extra special. Denver Nuggets players Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried, along with Denver Broncos players T.J. Ward, Brandon Marshall, Kayvon Webster and Terrance Knighton donated their time and money to "Christmas ReWard's"; a shopping spree for underprivileged kids orchestrated at the local Target. The official Denver Nuggets Twitter page tweeted this statement and a few pictures from the scene: This event was started by T.J. Ward four years ago through his very own T.J. Ward Foundation. Each student was given $100 by the players and Target to spend at the superstore. Journey advisories aid Australians to make informed conclusions about abroad journey.

So for them to get the cards and go shopping said it meant the world to him." Santa Claus himself was even on hand to take pictures and converse with the little ones. Some players, like Kenneth Faried, didn't grow up enjoying the stereotypical Christmas that we've become so accustomed to. So this experience really hit home for the NBA star: "Every kid wants that big Christmas, that Christmas tree, and Santa to bring them a massive amount of gifts," shared Faried. "You know when I was younger, we didn't have that. I wasn't able to have that huge Christmas and huge Christmas tree. Even though we didn't celebrate it, I still kind of wanted to experience that. But to give back and help another kid experience what I didn't get to experience is gonna be fun." It's good to see pro athletes find time to give back to their community and the kids who look up to them as role models. Check out some pictures from the event at nba.com and denverbroncos.com.
