Night to Shine

Most young adults spend their Friday nights catching up with their friends trying to find the latest turn up, but former Texas Tech Linebacker Cqulin Hubert spent his “Night To Shine”  at a prom party for special needs children sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation.

Hubert was invited to attend the prom night and asked one of his students to accompany him for a special night out. The former athlete sponsored Gentry’s prom dress and shoes through Natalie Regimen Craig’s non-profit  organization “Walk In Their Shoes” , and while fitting for her dress Gentry told her supporters “This is my night”. Gentry had never ridden in a limousine before, nor has she walked the red carpet, but from the expression on her face you can tell she was elated. Upon arrival, Hubert stepped out of the limo and knelt down on one knee asking for Gentry’s hand to spend her around in front of everyone and the crowd went wild. “Gentry enjoyed it so much she spent around another 5 more times,” said Hubert.

Cqulin Hubert is a remarkable young man with a big heart whose also a part of the Walk In Their Shoes Organization in  Lubbock, Texas.

About Walk In Their Shoes 

Walk In Their Shoes is an organization that provides the Texas Boys Ranch, Cal Farley’s Boy Ranch, and The Children’s Home of Lubbock the opportunity to participate in athletic camps that will ultimately promote higher self-esteem and develop life skills through Under Armour Brand.

Objective

The mission of WALK IN THEIR SHOES focuses on the children from The Boy’s Ranch and Children’s Home of Lubbock. Our goal is to provide them free access to camps and provide athletic gear to participate in the camps. WITS has partnered with Boy’s and Girl’s Club which will allow TBR and CHOL children to use their facilities through memberships that further supports sportsmanship and adult skills. WITS also have special initiatives like gifting shoes at Christmas and providing luggage to hold their belongings. There will be other special initiatives as this program evolves.
