SECAUCUS, N.J. (CBSNew York) – It’s the season of giving back, so when New York Jets player Robby Anderson joined forces with a national nonprofit to pay off $5,000 worth of layaway, families at Secaucus’ Burlington Store were ecstatic, speechless and grateful.
“It took a weight off because that was the last of the gifts we had to get,” said Negrita McCollum. “It just freed up money for us to be able to give it to someone else.”
That’s exactly the reaction Anderson says he was looking for, reports CBS2’s Alice Gainer.
He told CBS2 news it’s important he uses his platform to give back, especially around the holidays.
