On December 23rd, 2023 we hosted 100 incredible honor roll students to a $200 shopping spree at Walmart, Hollywood followed by arcade fun at FunDimension for the 15th Annual B-Wootie Holiday Honor Roll Program. Renamed in honor of the late Ms. Barbara Wooten, the Foundation's co-founder and Udonis Haslem’s beloved stepmother.

We chose to honor deserving students from Brentwood Elementary, North County Elementary, Julia's Kids, Lorah Park Elementary, and Lighthouse for the Blind.

‍

‍

We also were honored to include Christmas Wonderland, New Horizons, and Joshua's Heart into our programming. Christmas Wonderland gave each student two vouchers with a total value of $10,000, and each student got additional gifts from New Horizons/Toys for Tots and Joshua's Heart to end this extravaganza.

The Local Community Grants Team of Walmart, Hollywood  also contributed an extra $1200 grant towards kid’s purchases during the shopping spree.
