Each child selected to participate received a $150 Meijer gift card to buy gifts for family and friends, with a little help from the Lions players and their family members.
"It's all about giving and teaching them at a young age to provide and give for their friends," Barnes told Kacie Hollins. "It just shows them what other people go through to get their presents."
