“To be able to make an impact on my community during the holiday season, I know how much impact it has because I was one of these kids,” Hamlin said. “I was just like them, so coming back always lets me know I can show them they can do whatever it is they put their minds to.”

This was the 6th event held through Hamlin’s Chasing M’s Foundation.

Last year, the foundation helped out 1,000 families. It was expected to serve even more this year.
