All-Star guard Gilbert Arenas' Zero Two Hero Foundation hosted 300 underserved children and families for Gilbert’s Christmas Dream IV: Skate Party at D’Light Skate N Palace Roller Skating Rink. The event marked the conclusion of the Washington Wizards’ “Twelve Days of Holiday Cheer”. This holiday season the Washington Wizards performed twelve random acts to spread holiday cheer throughout the Washington, D.C. community.
“When I was growing up, my father and I did not have a lot and I remember what that was like at Christmas,” said Arenas. “This event is important to me for many reasons. I have kids now so I see how excited they are about Christmas. I am still a big brother to Arnie (McAllister) and I remember the sadness he felt a few years ago when he lost some of his family members during the holidays. Believe it or not I’m still a kid, so I want to do everything I can to make this a special time of year for these kids.”
