LeBron donates uniforms to Toronto kids

-

LeBron James crossed the Canadian border to dish out an all-star assist.

The Cavaliers forward surprised school kids in Toronto by giving them new team uniforms on Thursday, a giveaway sponsored by James’ family foundation as a way of thanking this year’s host city.

The uniforms were for 23 groups, including basketball, badminton, special needs, cricket and rugby teams.

James brought student “ambassador­s” from Ohio to assist in the giveaway and to volunteer for a day at Variety Village, an organizati­on providing programs to help disabled youngsters.

The 23 students had never been out of the United States.
