马刺队的“给予季”正在如火如荼地进行中

一年之中我最爱的就是现在这个时节。虽然节日和装饰很美好，但这并非我喜爱它的原因。每到此时，马刺队都会加倍努力，在多个方面为圣安东尼奥社区服务。

多年来，我一直报道这些活动，没有什么比看到孩子们与马刺球员面对面时的表情更令人欣慰的了。当他们意识到自己是这些急需物资的受赠者时，他们的喜悦之情溢于言表。

节假日对许多家庭来说压力重重，马刺队做了很多工作，以确保这些家庭在节日期间得到支持。

上个月，马刺队的“给予季”正式启动，马刺队的“Spurs Give”项目与 Shoes That Fit 合作，向数百名埃奇伍德独立学区（EISD）的学生赠送了免费运动鞋。

在活动现场，特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)亲自为学生们派发了鞋子和运动装备。

吉祥物“郊狼”和“Hype Squad”啦啦队也出现在活动中，与学生们互动。

就连R·C·布福德(R. C. Buford)也参与其中，分发背包。

Shoes That Fit 的执行董事艾米·法斯(Amy Fass)分享道：

“在美国，三分之一的儿童生活在低收入家庭，鞋子是家庭最昂贵的支出之一。当家庭不得不在食物和新鞋之间做出选择时，食物总是优先考虑的。一双鞋这样简单的礼物可以增强孩子的自信心，提高他们的出勤率和在学校的表现，我们非常感谢马刺队抽出时间对这些孩子产生如此积极的影响。”

节日期间还有更多活动即将到来。我期待着报道这些活动，并见证随之而来的纯粹的喜悦。

节日快乐，马刺球迷们，希望你们拥有所需的一切，以及一些想要的东西。

The Spurs Season of Giving is in full swing

This is my favorite time of year. Not because if the holidays and the decorations, though that is nice. This is the time of year when the Spurs Organization doubles and triples down to serve the San Antonio community on multiple fronts.

Over the years, I have covered these events, and there is nothing like the look on a youngsters face when he or she comes face to face with a Spurs player. And when they realize they are the recipient of some much needed supplies, their joy overflows.

The Spurs Organization does so much to ensure families are offered support during the holidays, which can be stressful for many.

Last month, the Spurs Season of Giving launched with Spurs Give teaming up with Shoes That Fit to give out free athletic shoes to hundreds of EISD students.

At the event, Tre Jones personally handed out shoes and sports gear to individual students.

The event also featured appearances from Coyote and Hype Squad to interact with the students.

Even R. C. Buford got in on the action, distributing backpacks.

Amy Fass, Executive Director of Shoes That Fit, shared,

“One in three children in the United States live in a low-income family, and shoes are one of the most expensive items for families to provide. When families have to choose between putting food on the table or buying new shoes for school, you can imagine that food wins every time. The simple gift of a pair of shoes can increase a child’s confidence, attendance and performance at school, and we are so thankful that the Spurs are taking the time to make such a positive impact on these kids.”

There is so much more to come during the holidays. I look forward to reporting on the events, and witnessing the unadulterated joy that comes along with each.

Happy holidays, Pounders, I hope you have all you need and some of what you want.
