Kenny Demens’ Christmas story started with a vision.
“It was so crazy, I woke up one morning and felt it in my heart to give back,” said Demens, the former Michigan and Birmingham Detroit Country Day linebacker, now playing for the Arizona Cardinals. “So I called my mom and said this is what I want do.”
He lives in Arizona. His mother, Tammy, lives in Oak Park. And Demens decided last Wednesday he wanted to help change Christmas for a few needy families across Metro Detroit.
