MONTREAL - With the holiday season just around the corner, the Montreal Impact paid a visit to the Montreal Children's Hospital and the CHU Sainte-Justine, on Thursday.
Impact players Mauro Biello, Gabriel Gervais and Antonio Ribeiro were on hand, along with team mascot Tac-Tik.
"Sick children are living hard moments and we are trying to make them forget their illness," said Impact midfielder Antonio Ribeiro. "We know that our presence can put back a smile on their face and even give them a little more hope. As Christmas nears, it's an easy gift for us to offer to children and we are glad to do it."
During their visit, the players distributed gifts, courtesy of Tommy Hilfiger, as well as signed souvenir booklets and team posters.
