Like Santa Claus during this time of year, McQuaide has been full of the giving spirit. He began last week by participating in Basket of Hope deliveries to children at Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital. He was joined by Basket of Hope ambassador and Rams running back Chase Reynolds, punter Johnny Hekker and fullback Zach Laskey. The quartette distributed baskets filled with games, toys, music and more to the patients and the patients’ parents.
“You can completely change their day just by showing up, smiling at them, or giving them a high five,” McQuaide said.
