Lamaar Woodley donated $60,000 to his grade school alma mater to cover athletic fees for all middle and high school students.
Budget cuts to the school's athletic department forced them to implement a $75 athletic fee for the year to cover the costs. The man may have worn the wrong colors, but this is a great example of "paying foirward" and think anyone could appreciate that.

Super nice!
One of my all-time favorites. Great kid! Mike Martin probably won't have the NFL career that Woodley has, but I expect him to be a great contributor to the community and make a big difference. He's even worked with Dhani some.

Yup, that's a solid.

I'll admit, as a Bengals fan I have a soft spot in my heart for Dhani.
Not to be a one-upper, as this is a good story, but LeCharles Bentley is setting up a 1.2 million scholarship fund that will send 120 underprivileged kids to St. Ignatius high school in Cleveland over 20 years. This is part of a settlement he reached with the Browns. Up until now he was paying for 2-3 scholarships a year out of pocket.
Great to see these guys giving back.
How firm they friendship...
Woodley deserves major props for doing this. Great to see.
As much as I hate to say it, it was pretty cool. Well, I'm never going to say it, I'm just going to type it. I hate having ANY type of positivity about SCUM. It's Friday, and I'm going to drink that feeling into submission.
@Ken yon...I wonder if he's following Braylon Edwards' lead since he did the same thing for 100 kids last year.
Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!
