Cam Thomas was born in Japan — his mom was stationed there as a soldier — but he considers the Tidewater region of Virginia his home and this holiday season, his first in the NBA, he decided to give back.
As WAVY, a local TV station, reports Friday, Thomas worked with his old elementary school, Portlock Primary School in Chesapeake, to provide personalized gift packs to 17 preschool students.
“We are so blessed,” said school Principal Heather Brusso of Thomas.
Thomas’ team and family reached out a couple of weeks ago asking how they could give back to Portlock students.
