TAMPA BAY -- Tampa Bay Storm quarterback Brett Dietz and wide receiver Tyrone Timmons joined the Friends of Joshua House and professional wrestlers; Al Green, Santino Marella, Buck Wild and former South Florida Bull Dan “The Big Deal” Rodman, as they spread holiday cheer for the children of the Lutz, Florida Joshua House at a local Target Supercenter this past Saturday.

The players and wrestlers arrived at Target on a fire truck accompanied by Santa Claus to the cheers of the children. “It was real special to see the smiles on the faces of all the kids as we pulled up on the fire truck,” said Dietz. After arriving at the store, the players passed out Storm backpacks as they greeted the children.

Volunteers from the Friends of Joshua House chaperoned the children taking them Christmas shopping with gift cards supplied by Target. As the children looked for gifts for their loved ones, Dietz, Timmons and the wrestlers signed autographs, took pictures and talked with the children. In addition the children were met at the registers by a group of carolers signing Christmas carols.
