In trying economic times, a number of charities and community projects have suffered from lack of support.  In spite of declining revenues from corporate and association meeting business, the Hilton Naples, however elected recently to provide over 100 room nights in support of a first-ever matchup between the Naples Gators youth football team and Deion Sander's The Truth youth teams from Dallas, Texas.  It seems Deion Sanders and the coach of the Naples Gators had met and shared common philosophies and goals, so a match was arranged.  Then, the planning got underway to bring two Dallas youth teams to Naples.  Hilton Naples and its resident Shula's Steak House didn't hesitate to step up with not only rooms, but a VIP reception and dinner for all at Shula's.  The management team saw that this program put kids on the road to success.  Hotel general manager Clark Hill said "Personally, seeing the faces of the kids light up as they enjoyed the property was amazing and that alone was worth the effort on the part of the Hilton Naples and Shula’s Steak House, Naples."  Oh, and the restaurant manager pointed out that Deion said their BBQ shrimp was the best he has ever had.  Way to go, Hilton Naples and Shula's!
