KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Homegrown Kansas City Royals<\/a> stars Carter Jensen and Noah Cameron put on their Santa hats Friday night. <\/p>\n

They took select lucky kids from the Urban Youth Academy<\/a> on a holiday shopping spree at Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods in the Northland. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf I can help put something on like that, I\u2019m gonna do it every time,\u201d Jensen said about the event. \u201cIt means the world. I think being from here, seeing past Royals, past Chiefs putting together events like this, I never went to one, but I know how much they mean to the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know how blessed we are being in Kansas City,\u201d Cameron told KCTV5<\/a>. \u201cAll the guys [on the team] tell us, you guys have no clue how lucky you are. So I think just being able to give back in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The kids – and their parents – were kept totally in the dark about all the surprises awaiting them in the store. They didn\u2019t know they\u2019d be meeting the two Royals and getting autographed baseballs from them. <\/p>\n

And the shock in their faces when Jensen told them they\u2019d each be getting $500 gift cards to go shopping – was priceless. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t think things like this will happen for you,\u201d one parent, Jess Fullen, said about the surprise. \u201cIt\u2019s super generous and unexpected. And you can just see the kids light up in disbelief.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jensen and Cameron were able to put so much money together thanks to some holiday cheer from their teammates Bobby Witt Jr. and Michael Wacha. Those two weren\u2019t able to make the event in person, but they didn\u2019t hesitate to do their part. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t second-guess a thing. They heard what we were doing, and they were amazing,\u201d Jensen said. <\/p>\n

They may have been playing Santa for the night, but KCTV5 made sure to ask what they had on their Christmas wish lists this year. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe just had a baby, so spending a bunch of money on them \u2018cause they just cost a bunch of money, so that\u2019s fun,\u201d Cameron said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cA World Series next year! That\u2019s on the Christmas list for sure,\u201d added Jensen. <\/p>\n

The two ended the special night with yet another surprise – taking the entire group out for dinner. <\/p>\n
