SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili is set to brighten the Christmas holiday for the children at Christus Children’s Hospital.
The Spurs big man will soon be helping deliver toys to the kids at the hospital and chatting with them for the holidays.
Also, he recently hosted a Christmas basketball camp at Sonia Sotomayor High School. Aside from teaching basketball skills, he and his team collected unwrapped toys for children for Christmas.
If that wasn't enough to show that Mamu is in the Christmas spirit, he will host a meet-and-greet with fans on December 20th at Bushes Chicken, 11061 Westwood Loop, 78253, starting at 6:00 p.m.
Fans are encouraged to bring a new and unwrapped toy ($5 minimum) to meet Mamu for a signed photo and a photo with him. You'll be given a raffle ticket for a chance to win free Spurs tickets, game-worn gear, and more.
