Shaq-a-Claus arrived in Georgia this week!

It all started over 20 years ago.  Shaquille O’Neal Foundation brings hundreds of gifts for Georgia children each year.  It’s the annual Shaq-a-Claus!

Shaq continued his Shaq-a-Claus tradition this year, bringing Christmas gifts for 500 children at an elementary school in McDonough Georgia.

How did it get started?  Shaq said it all started with a phone call from his mother.  She told Shaq that she was with several hundred children that would not be getting anything for Christmas. Shaq then told his mom, I will handle it.  And he did… and has continued every year since!

We love to see celebrities giving back so generously!
