This wasn't just your typical meet and greet autograph signing, because it wasn't just the kids asking for the autographs, it was the athletes getting autographs from the patients.

Topps provided each kids at the event with customized trading cards that the athletes could sign. The unique trading cards highlighted key "stats", like favorite NFL team and favorite football party food, and will feature a photo of each patient.
