NEW YORK -- Prior to many of his team's road games, Charlie Villanueva conducts pre-game meet-and-greet appearances with children that suffer from Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune skin disease that results in hair loss. He made such an appearance prior to the Bucks game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Friday, November 30.

But on the night before the game, Charlie made another appearance at the NBA Store in downtown New York. He hosted a group of 15 children and spent over an hour playing basketball, signing autographs, sharing stories and eating pizza. Here are a few photos from the event.
