New Jersey Nets Send Family Promise Kids Shopping
The New Jersey Nets’ team mascot, Sly the Silver Fox, led 25 children from Family Promise Affiliates in northern New Jersey, on a shopping spree at Toys “R” Us in Paramus on December 14th. Representatives from the Nets, Toys “R” Us and Family Promise Affiliates in Sussex, Essex and Morris counties took part in the pre-holiday festivities. Each child was presented with a $200 gift card and turned loose in the aisles of Toys “R” Us. With Sly’s help, they quickly filled their carts with video games, doll houses and action figures. It was hard to tell who was having more fun—the kids or their parents. New Jersey Nets Share Thanksgiving Dinner with Family Promise
