Cam made a list and checked it twice and had special surprises for everyone.

At West Meck High School, Santa Cam and his elves surprised a group of 130 teachers with $50 Belk gift cards for everyone, as well as holiday snacks. Then it was off to  Cochrane Academy for a surprise visit to their middle school boys and girls basketball teams. Each of the players received a duffle bag full of Under Armour basketball gear.
