Baltimore Ravens receiver and former Pro Bowler with the Panthers—Steve Smith Sr.—will be taking an autistic teenage girl to her senior prom.

Aubrey Bridges, of Charlotte, North Carolina, suffers from a rare disorder called Vein of Galen Malformation, which affect the blood vessels in the brain, thus causing auditory processing delay and speech apraxia.

Bridges enjoys basketball, and even tried out for the basketball team at her school.

She will also be graduating from high school this upcoming June.
