    Chris Paul has been with the Houston Rockets for less than one season, but he and his family are already doing what they can to help the city through a tough time.

    As the Rockets tweeted Saturday, Jada Paul—Chris' wife—hosted a pop-up shop along with the Chris Paul Family Foundation in order to provide prom outfits to Houston-area high school students free of cost following Hurricane Harvey:

    Jada Paul and the Chris Paul Family Foundation hosted a Pop-Up Shop to support the junior and senior students attending the C.E. King High School prom. The students were able to select a prom gown & suit, and will attend their prom all at no cost. https://t.co/n67oiyXFYE

    Jada explained, via Mark Berman of Fox 26, what an event like this means to the community right now:

    Chris Paul's wife, Jada, and their family hosted a "Prom Takeover" at CE King High School for juniors & seniors greatly affected by Hurricane Harvey. The unique idea allows young ladies to select their prom gown & young men to select their suit for the high school prom. @CP3 https://t.co/nemqDSgIUg

    Classy gesture.
