From exclamations of glee as children entered the stadium through "snow," to shouts of surprise when Bryce Young stepped forward to hand them a gift, to giggles echoing down the hallway as kid after kid compared toys, coats, shoes, and more. 

The David & Nicole Tepper Foundation, Carolina Panthers, and Coca-Cola Consolidated hosted the 7th Annual "Joy to the Carolinas" on Tuesday night, welcoming more than 1,000 kids from across the Carolinas through the doors.
