Jazz players, employees give back during the holiday season

Royce O’Neale can’t wait for Christmas morning.

Literally.

“We open our presents on Christmas Eve,” the Utah Jazz forward said. “We always say we’re going to just open one, but then somehow we always end up opening all of them.”

So with the holiday season in full swing, O’Neale wanted to make sure the children from Salt Lake City’s Neighborhood House weren’t left waiting for gifts and a special memory. O’Neale and Jazz forward Georges Niang hosted about 50 children from Neighborhood House—a program that provides child care for low-income families—for a showing of Disney’s Ralph Breaks the Internet at The Gateway Megaplex Theatres last week, providing tickets, snacks and gifts.
