Jones is acquainted with the Preston family because his mother taught Lindsey in elementary school. So despite having a busy schedule playing for the San Francisco 49’ers, the 27-year-old traveled back to Lawrence County and took Lindsey to a special needs prom on Friday.

“Anything I can do to make some kids smile, I would be more than willing to do,” Jones told local media. “I think the most fun was all of the guys, I showed the guys about five or six new dance moves…all of the guys followed me around all night and I was just glad I could dance and put smiles on the kid’s faces.”

And according to Preston’s mom, Jones was exceptional at making “all of the kids feel special”.

In addition to joining his second season with the 49’ers, Jones has played with the Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, and Houston Texans.

Camp Barnabas has two locations in the Ozarks and is centered around Jesus. They declare in their core values that “Christ comes first always” and staffers should “point people to Christ in everything we do.”

“There are tons of amazing charities in southwest Missouri,” Cole Hamels said in a statement. “Out of all of these, Barnabas really pulled on our heartstrings. “Seeing the faces, hearing the laughter, reading the stories of the kids they serve; there is truly nothing like it. Barnabas makes dreams come true, and we felt called to help them in a big way.

The 32,000-square-foot mansion will be the largest gift ever received in the history of Barnabas, according to a press release by the Hamels Foundation.

The camp also caters to campers’ siblings and parents, as well as missionaries. The camp said that Hamel’s extraordinary gift “really pulled on our heartstrings.” They added:

“Seeing the faces, hearing the laughter, reading the stories of the kids they serve — there is truly nothing like it … we felt called to help them in a big way.”

The gift has come at exactly the right time, as the camp seeks to expand.

“Our mission is to change lives through disability ministry, and we’ve been strategically looking for ways to expand our ministry outside of a summer camp,” said Jason Brawner, CEO of Camp Barnabas. “We have no doubt this gift will allow us to do just that.”

Back in 2012, committed Christians Cole and Heidi adopted a baby girl from Ethiopia named Reeve.

The former NFL quarterback (who’s currently drawing HUGE crowds as a minor league baseball player for the New York Mets), performed his latest good deed on The Tonight Show.

While visiting with host Jimmy Fallon, Tebow spoke about his foundation’s Night to Shine event.

“Night to Shine is a worldwide prom for people with special needs,” Tebow said.

“The Friday before Valentine’s Day, at the same time, all around the world, in every state, this past year in 11 countries, over 375 locations at one time…kids with special needs are being celebrated, they’re walking down red carpets, they’re being cheered for and it’s my favorite night of the year,” he added.

Tebow, who never attended his high school prom due to his athletic commitments, revealed that he was invited to attend the Night to Shine in New York City but, just like when he was a teenager, he couldn’t make it. However, this time he had something up his sleeve.

“We invited her mom here today, and she is here, and I am here and so, Judy Adams, I was wondering if maybe I could have a dance?” Tebow said.

Adams then joined Tebow on the Tonight Show set for a slow dance while her mom watched on in tears.

Tebow is currently promoting his book, Know Who You Are: Live Like it Matters, which hit bookshelves on May 16th.

I’m so excited to share my new book Know Who You Are Live Like It Matters! This book is a tool for parents to connect with their kids and to help kids grow deeper in their faith and life. #knowwhoyouare #shaken
