NBA Star Karl-Anthony Towns Brings a Pop Up Santa Surprise to Reed Academy

Continuing the month-long holiday cheer initiative "Pop Up Santa," FreeForm teamed up with Minnesota Timberwolves player Karl-Anthony Towns to surprise four very special students from Oakland, New Jersey's REED Academy, a non-profit school for children with autism.

The four kids and their families were gifted tickets to a Minnesota Timberwolves vs. New York Knicks basketball game, as well as a special meet-and-greet with Towns, a New Jersey native, after the game. Towns' Pop Up Santa surprise can be seen on FreeForm on SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24 during the airing of "Elf" (7:40-9:45 p.m. EST), and on 25DaysofChristmasTV.com.
