MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle helped put some big smiles on the faces of dozens of South Florida’s youth for the holiday season.

For the season of giving, Waddle invited a group of kids from Boys & Girls Clubs across South Florida for a special event on Monday at the Nike store in Miami Beach.

Waddle gifted each of the kids a $500 shopping spree, courtesy of Nike, for the holidays.

The impact something like this has on families is tremendous during a time of economic uncertainty and growing costs.

While the kids made the most of the gift, the real prize for many was getting up-close and personal with a Miami Dolphins superstar.
