Kane99 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Shaq is the man. He recently gave away 1000 ps5s and switches to kids for Christmas. That means some kids got a ps5 and hopefully scalpers weren't in on the deal.

Heatman Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 This is the best news or update I have read all week. I would love to see the kind of happiness on those kids faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I'm 100% sure if Shaq's charity went to Sony and said they need 1000 PS5 (or whatever), they would've gotten them. It's not like Shaq's a nobody. Plus, if he talked to Sony months ago saying he need them by Christmas, they could easily set a few hundred aside. Plus Sony gets to brag that they've given hundreds of PS5's to charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's definitely going to be a win win situation for Sony because it's going to boost their publicity which is good for business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin11 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 That's excellent indeed, the children who got a PS5 or Nintendo device in the giveaway were so fortunate indeed. If you calculate the worth of the consoles offered by Shaquille is above $500,00.00 worth of items shipped to children, that's huge indeed.

They have it in them to do it, I don't doubt that at all. I have come to understand that nothing goes for nothing for these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycrab Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) I think this is his way of of apologising for his acting career😆! In all seriousness, kudos to the guy. It added at least a little brightness to people. Edited April 21, 2022 by Crazycrab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, you don't get to see that kind of generosity much in the world today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Wonder how many grown ups played the kids gifts instead. Sent them to bed with no dinner while they stayed up playing the systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an incident around here where items brought for motherless babies was stolen by some of the workers but they were caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
