Khalil Mack used to tear it up on the football field for Fort Pierce Westwood High School. He did the same thing for the University of Buffalo and now for the Chicago Bears. And because of his generosity, 300 families can tear up their Christmas layaway receipts.
Mack's foundation took care of his hometown fans by playing Santa and covering the remaining debt for hundreds of families who had put items and gifts on layaway for Christmas.
The Fort Pierce Walmart on Okeechobee Road took to Facebook to make the surprise announcement, saying: "We have some wonderful News! If you have an active Holiday Layaway account at your local Ft. Pierce Wal-Mart, you account has been paid off! We here at Walmart would like to thank the Khalil Mack Foundation for your generosity, and for making so many families happy for the holidays!"
According to the Chicago Tribune, the amount Mack's foundation paid to cover the tab was around $80,000.
