Houston Astros third baseman and World Series champion Alex Bregman along with Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, and cornerback Johnathan Joseph were on hand to host a holiday shopping spree for 16 kids from the YMCA of Greater Houston. After each kid was given a $100 each they headed straight to the toys and also was able to purchase some holiday gifts for loved ones and close friends.
The Astros and Texans’ efforts also included a shopping spree for three local YMCA families affected by Hurricane Harvey. Each family received $5,000 to purchase holiday gifts, furniture, and other needed necessities from JC Penney to aid in the recovery. To top it off, the families were surprised with a LG new washer and dryer for their home. It was a day full of tears and joy for the families.
