For the past 11 years, Mountain Outreach, a service organization at Cumberlands, has hosted the Midnight Shopping Spree with assistance from Walmart and volunteers from across the university, including athletes from track and cross country, archery, bowling and women\u2019s lacrosse. During the event, students shopped for gifts that were later distributed to 180 families at Mountain Outreach\u2019s annual Gift Day. As the event started, students divided into groups and took slips of paper listing the number of gifts needed for a specific age and gender. Each gift was to be in a price range of $10 to $20. \u201cIn the spirit of Christmas, make it personal,\u201d Hensley said during his opening remarks. In total, students collected 812 gifts, allowing each child to receive two gifts. \u201cI believe this is one of the greatest events UC does every year,\u201d said Brad Paynter, a member of the men\u2019s bowling team from Carlisle, Ohio. \u201cThere\u2019s no [better] way to show Christmas spirit than through the gift of giving.\u201d"}
