Dawson brought along his friend Kingsley Feinman, WCIV reported.
Feinman has cerebral palsy and is paraplegic. He has a feeding tube and an aide who helps him do almost everything, Syracuse.com reported.
Feinman wanted the same thing other high school students have, and with the help of Dawson, he was able to be one of the boys, meet girls and host a pool party, Syracuse.com reported.
Dawson also made sure Feinman was there for Dawson’s big day.
First, Dawson introduced Feinman to the waiting crowd by explaining that Feinman inspired him while he recovered from a torn ACL, telling the football player, "The only disability is a bad attitude," WCIV reported.
