Ben McLemore is on a tear when it comes to getting involved with the local community. Just a couple days ago I was with him as he held a toy drive and met fans at a Pizza Guys location. Today he was at Bel Air Market to shop with families.
This event was a part of the Sacramento Kings Season of Doing Good. It is an amazing community outreach that lasts for much of the holiday season. During this time all aspects of the Kings Organization go out and essentially 'do good' all over the Sacramento area. It's an incredible initiative that really shows the love and care the Kings have for the city and region.
So many gifts and provisions were brought in by the Kings. When the Kings do good, they do good the right way. Generosity? Check.
Scott Fresh was also on hand to help Ben pass out gifts. It was so exciting watching the kids receive unexpected gifts. Both Scott and Ben facilitated a perfect gift opening party. Those two were probably the two biggest kids in the building. Don't tell Scott, but I saw him eyeing some lightsaber toys.
It's one of the best feelings in the world to know that you've made someone else happy. They say it is more blessed to give than to receive. Thanks to Ben for blessing others so richly! Just look at the excitement and joy with this young girl!
What an amazing time for all the families who were a part of this Doing Good event. It was smiles all around!
Moira and Kelsey from the Sacramento Kings Dancers were also on site to lend a hand. The SKD are definitely a huge part of the Doing Good campaign and you'll see dancers at just about every event helping out and making folks happy.
The people at Bel Air were super nice. They also provided food and facilities for this event to take place. Everybody is chipping in to help!
Here's Ben as he helps get the groceries out to the car. I really got to hand it to Ben! He does not hesitate when it comes to helping people out. He was helping with the cart, bagging groceries, and just making people feel great. Thanks Ben for all you do!
Well, that's it for me! I might stop by DeMarcus' event on Monday. He's doing something similar to what Ben did today next week. See ya then!
