The Sacramento Kings star hosted 100 underprivileged youths from local communities for a shopping spree Monday night. The kids received $200 to spend at Arden Fair Mall on holiday gifts for themselves or loved ones before meeting "Santa Cuz."

It's the fourth year Cousins has held the event, and it's a cause that hits close to his heart.

"I grew up in these kids' shoes," Cousins told ABC10 in Sacramento.
