NATICK, MASS. (WHDH) - Some local student-athletes got a shot to shop with a Celtic’s star in Natick Monday night!
C’s forward Jayson Tatum stopped by a Dick’s Sporting Goods to pick out gifts with kids from the “No Books, No Ball” program.
Each child received a $250 gift card for getting good grades.
The program’s founder, Tony Richards said players like Tatum are a big influence on the kids.
“It’s inspiring and I applaud him for taking the time out, and acknowledging and identifying a program like we are,” He said. “To have him show some love to an organization like ours is phenomenal.”
The program also received a $5,000 donation on behalf of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Foundation.
