It’s no secret that Russell Wilson loves kids. The Super Bowl winner has three with his singer-wife, Ciara. Not only that, he also runs a foundation that helps impoverished children in society receive education and proper health care.

Fresh from the impressive 24-9 win for the Denver Broncos—their first over the Kansas City Chiefs since 2015—Wilson went to take some breather and a much-needed scenery change. He and some of the Broncos teammates attended the NBA Western Conference game between the Denver Nuggets and the Utah Jazz.

As Halloween is right on the doorstep, the entire arena was buzzing with excitement. And what’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Halloween? Trick or treat. Keeping that in mind, one of the home team contingents cosplayed as a ghost, and with him was a little girl holding a bucket.

Together, they went from one end to the other, gathering treats. Russell Wilson was sitting courtside, and when they were passing by, the 34-year-old stopped her. He reached into his back pocket, took a wallet, and put some cash into the bucket. Happy Halloween. Or is it?
