Pacers’ Obi Toppin surprises kids with shopping spree
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Pacers power forward Obi Toppin surprised 10 children from the Boys & Girls Club of Indianapolis with a shopping spree at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Castleton Square Mall on Sunday.
Every child received a $150 DICK’S Sporting Goods gift card, and Toppin added an additional $100 gift card for each child. In total, the children each were given $250 to shop for holiday gifts, sports gear, and apparel.
“I always spoil my kids with a whole bunch of gifts around the holidays,” said Toppin. “So, being able to be in the position I’m in, being able to come back and give some kids a shopping spree experience is amazing so I feel grateful for it.”
