The Marshawn Lynch give-back tour in Oakland continues to grind on.

The running back's latest gesture to the kids of the Bay Area is 2,000 free tickets to a local water park for those who show up Thursday at Beast Mode Apparel store in downtown Oakland, via Daniel Mano of the Bay Area News Group.

Lynch tweeted out the giveaway news.

It's not the first nor the last charitable donation Lynch has made to the people of Oakland. He recently started giving away free haircuts to kids who have good grades.

Lynch returned to the NFL to try and help give the people of Oakland one last championship run before the team moves to Las Vegas. In the meantime -- and long after the franchise leaves -- Beast Mode will try to lift his community one free water slide ride at a time.
