Cole Hamels showed his Christmas spirit early this year.

The Rangers ace and his wife, Heidi, are donating a mansion and 100 acres of land in southwest Missouri to a charity that provides camps for children with special needs and chronic illnesses and their siblings, they announced Monday.

The Hamels are gifting the 32,000-square-foot home to Camp Barnabas, making it the largest donation in the camp’s history, according to the Springfield News-Ledger. The mansion is reportedly worth $9.75 million.

The mansion and land are near Table Rock Lake near Reeds Springs. Heidi Hamels grew up in Buffalo, Mo.

“There are tons of amazing charities in southwest Missouri,” Cole Hamels said in a statement. “Out of all of these, Barnabas really pulled on our heartstrings. Seeing the faces, hearing the laughter, reading the stories of the kids they serve; there is truly nothing like it. Barnabas makes dreams come true, and we felt called to help them in a big way.”

The couple at first believed the mansion would be their dream home. But when Hamels was traded to the Rangers, they moved to Texas and never moved into the Missouri house.
