Anaheim Ducks players Corey Perry, François Beauchemin and Clayton Stoner and a few Lady Ducks – significant others of Ducks players, coaches, broadcasters and management – hosted a shopping spree for 12 local children Tuesday at a Target in Irvine.

Each child spent about $250 on clothes, toys and other items for themselves and their families, according to Wendy Arciero, director of community relations for the Ducks. The costs are covered by participating players and the team.

The Lady Ducks who participated this year included Perry’s fiancée Blakeny Robertson, Geena Fistric and Andrea Kesler.

The children, ranging from 9 to 17 years old, are enrolled in The Wooden Floor, a Santa Ana-based nonprofit that teaches an intensive dance program to 375 underserved children each year. Since 2005, all of the organization’s participants have graduated from high school on time and have pursued higher education.

This is the seventh year that the Ducks have paired up with The Wooden Floor for the shopping spree. The team regularly donates tickets to games and signed merchandise to help with the nonprofit’s fundraising efforts.

After participating last year, Robertson encouraged Perry to join her. The pair shopped with three girls, ages 9 and 10, for clothes, dolls and Easy Bake Ovens.

“They’ve been running around like crazy,” he said of the girls picking out the items.

Perry said he doesn’t get to spend much time with his young cousins, so he liked being able to hang out with the kids Tuesday. He said he will participate again next year.
