A-Rod made the holidays a little brighter today as he was at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade giving gifts to youth members!
The event had fun activities like a petting zoo provided by Tinez Farms, face painting, a bounce house, a Christmas card making station, and visits with Santa.
City of Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez, County Commissioner Raquel Regalado and City of Miami Commissioner Manolo Reyes were in attendance for the event.
Santa even made a grand entrance landing a helicopter on the Club’s baseball field!
A-Rod actually got his start at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade through their Hank Kline Club. They taught him how to play the sport, and he remained member until the day he was drafted by the Seattle Mariners.
Now, he serves as a longtime board member for Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
