    There are idiots who will say "$17k is nothing for someone making millions"

    But $17k is a lot to underprivileged children.

    Good job, Dre :)

    That argument took place last year.

    Good to see Dre keeping this great charitable tradition going.

    I really appreciate that he has made it a tradition (7 years) in addition to giving bikes to the top performers at an school.

    I just realized that Andre Johnson and Kevin Durant have very similar demeanors and voices.

    Andre Johnson is awesome. $17,000 to needy kids, that's a lot of money. I am sure God will reward him what he did.

    Dre winning a ring in Houston would be almost as awesome as when Dream did it.

    That's awesome.

    So glad for those kids, without a guy like Andre they may end up with nothing for Christmas, now they not only have gifts but great memories of a fantastic guy making a tremendous contributions to those kids lives.

    A true idol, Andre.

    These kids weren't as fast as last years it seems. Came up about $2,000 short of last year's total.

    Props to Andre, you can't put a price on making a child happy, and all of these kids are going to be on top of the world for a long time with all of these toys.
