Amidst the energetic music and festive atmosphere, the young patients received autographs, took photos and spent quality time socializing with their newfound friends from the Kings and Wells Fargo.
“It’s very kind of them to visit because they’ve come to cheer us up,” said Abigail Minnett, one of the many children enjoying Sunday’s festivities. “It makes me feel very special.”
The patients received goodie bags courtesy of the Kings and proud Kings partner Wells Fargo along with all the pizza they could eat courtesy of proud Kings partner Round Table Pizza.
“It definitely feels good to put a smile on these kids’ faces,” stated Landry. “The Sacramento Kings are a huge part of this community, a huge part of the city of Sacramento and the surrounding areas, so for us to have the opportunity to interact with our fans and give back to this hospital is great.”
