It was a packed house at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday as New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez partnered with the Patriots Foundation and Dellbrook|JKS to host a Winter Wonderland Party.

In addition to the 90 children invited, his Patriots teammates were rolling deep, too.

"For my teammates to show up it meant a lot," Gonzalez said of those who showed up to the holiday party that featured dinner, video games, holiday activities, and a shopping experience.

"I invited them and they showed up. It goes to show how tight we are as a team. The guys taking the time on their one day off in the week to come up here and give back means a lot."

Gonzalez was joined by teammates Milton Williams, Rhamondre Stevenson, Austin Hooper, Mack Hollins, Jaylinn Hawkins, Julian Ashby, Craig Woodson, Charles Woods, Marcellas Dial Jr., Sebastian Gutierrez, Jack Westover, Isaiah Iton, Dell Pettus, Marte Mapu, Miles Battle, Caedan Wallace, John Saunders Jr., and Richie Grant.

Defensive coaches Scott Booker (safeties) and Justin Hamilton (cornerbacks) also showed up to support, as well as Patriots alumni players Ronnie Lippett, Ronald James, Chris Sullivan, Max Lane, and Matt Chatham.

Along with Pat Patriot and members of the Patriots Cheerleading squad, current and former teammates helped the kids pick up winter coats, gloves, hats, as well as a gift for themselves and a loved one.

The kids, ranging in age from 10 to 16, were all involved from local youth development groups that help provide mentorship and resources to underserved youth. Each of them left with a meal from Chic-Fil-A and a brand new bicycle courtesy of North Pole Bike Shop.

"The kids come in here, smile, hang out, get some good food, some gifts," said Gonzalez.

"I think one of my favorite things is seeing the kids wanting to give gifts to their siblings. I think that's an amazing thing."
