Raptors star Kyle Lowry made a surprise appearance at St. Paul Catholic School in Toronto Wednesday morning and brought 26 children to a Toys R Us store for a holiday shopping spree.

The students had 15 minutes to choose their gifts. Lowry said he wanted to show the kids that Christmas is "supposed to be a wonderful time."

Via the Toronto Star:

"I want to make children have faith in that something good will happen to them in their lives. It might not be the biggest thing, but it's more about me and my wife wanting to give back to the community that we live in, that we're a part of, that supports us."
