Father's Day is normally about doting on dad.

But Jason "Juice" Tollette was happy to celebrate a few days early by giving back to the community — specifically the 80 children residing at the Lee & Beulah Moor home.

Thursday Tollette walked into the home with a big smile, carrying his 15-month-old daughter in one arm and carrying a bag of $50 gift cards for each child.
