This will be the fourth season the Capitals, Mystics and Wizards have joined forces to participate in the Monumental Sports & Entertainment Family-to-Family program. In December the teams will deliver presents to a number of the families and will host all for a holiday event at a to be determined date.

“It means a lot to for us to give to these families who would not have the opportunity otherwise, said Mandy Alzner, wife of Caps Forward Karl Alzner.  “We have the chance to make a difference and today is a perfect example of how we can all make a difference.”

To see the amout of toys and gifts flowing from the baskets on several different aisles and to have the cashiers ringing these gifts knowing that they are also taking part in making a difference.

“It is amazing to see all of these beautiful ladies out here today,” said Shavon a WalMart Cashier. I like knowing I am ringing up these gifts to make a difference for someone in the area.
