New
York Knicks guard Nate Robinson will spread holiday cheer to 150
youngsters from The Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Westchester
with a holiday party on Tuesday, December 19, from 6:00 to 9:00
p.m.
The Club members will enjoy an evening of activities that include BINGO, a pool tournament, a video game tournament with the champion facing Robinson, arts & crafts and pizza and ice cream to indulge. A magician, face painter, balloon artist and the Knicks Groove Truck will join Robinson to make the night one to remember. The members will also have the opportunity to take a photo and get an autograph from Robinson. “It’s the season of giving and I wanted to do something special for the children in my community,” said Robinson. “If I can put a smile on a kid’s face and lift their spirit then that’s the best Christmas present I could ever receive.”
