Eagles' DeSean Jackson Treats 50 Deserving Kids To Shopping Spree At Philadelphia Walmart

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson may be recovering from a core muscle injury but that hasn't stopped him from staying active in the community. On Tuesday night, Jackson hosted his annual Shop With a Jock event where he gifted 50 children a shopping spree at a Philadelphia-area Walmart.

The kids were from two local nonprofits -- Boys & Girls Club and the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Jackson gave each kid a $100 gift card and spent time with the children as they picked out some holiday toys.

The night included cheesesteaks from Pat's and each child received a special T-shirt to remember the event.
