As part of the Long Island Nets’ Season of Giving initiative, three of the team’s players - Justin Jackson, Chris Walker, and Adam Woodbury - spread holiday cheer by surprising six families with a holiday shopping spree at the Elmhurst Target at 8801 Queens Boulevard Elmhurst, NY this past Sunday, Dec. 12 at 11 a.m.
The families with children, ages 3-15, are from the Allied Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that aims to improve the health and wellbeing of residents within Allied Physicians Group’s geographical footprint, that currently includes Long Island, Queens and Brooklyn.
