Walmart and Houston Texans’ tight end Owen Daniels made the holidays a little brighter for 100 Houston-area children and their families. A select group of patients from Texas Children’s Hospital, Memorial Hermann Memorial and Ronald McDonald House along with their families were invited to the newest Walmart store in Houston for Operation North Pole, a program of the Owen Daniels’ Catching Dreams Foundation. Each family received a $100 Walmart gift card, a bag full of groceries to prepare a traditional holiday meal and family picture with Santa. Families also had the chance to meet Houston tight end, Owen Daniels, and receive an autographed football. Classy move by a classy tight end.-TO
