AJ McCarron takes local kids on shopping spree of a lifetime to Academy Sports

Former Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron gave back to the community as he treated 15 local children to a shopping spree at Academy Sports in Mobile. Each child, who was chosen from those registered for McCarron’s annual football camp, was handed $150 gift cards to the athletics store.

This is the second time McCarron has treated the local youth to a shopping frenzy as he started the tradition this time last year ahead of his camp.
