Paul surprised the students at their school last Tuesday and sent every kid home with a brand new pair of sneakers. In its seventh year, the Barack Obama Charter School is an Ingenium learning school that encourages students to become more independent and take a leadership role in their education. Paul is no stranger to helping kids in the classroom. In August, he also assisted in bringing technology and golf to the Watts-Willowbrook Boys & Girls Club.
The Chris Paul Family Foundation and Shoes that Fit previously supplied footwear to children in Chris Paul's hometown, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
