NORTH FOREST — Vince Young, quarterback of the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League, shared toys and gave bicycles to underprivileged kids in the North Forest community, at an event held last week.
Vince Young’s mother Felicia Young and manager/uncle Keith Young were also present on Sunday, December 20, 2009, to hand out gifts and greet children from the Forest Brooks community. The event took place at the Fiesta Mart located at 9419 Mesa Road and Tidwell, from 2 pm to 5 pm. Young, Rev. Gregory Griffin (talk show host) of KWWJ, and Fiesta Mart partnered together as corporate sponsors of this event to share their Christmas with the kids of North Forest.
Santa Claus was on hand to take pictures with the kids, as well as a clown to do face painting. Over 400 kids received toys and bicycles. Children had to be accompanied by a parent or guardian to receive a gift.
Young grew up in the tough Hiram Clarke neighborhood in Houston, Texas, where he was primarily raised by his mother and his grandmother. He wears the number 10 to show love and respect for his mother, whose birthday is June 10. Young wanted to be able to help these less fortunate kids by bringing smiles to their faces at the holidays.
