Scott Fujita was a linebacker on the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints this past season. He was recently signed by the Cleveland Browns but left quite a going away present for his former city. He decided to donate his entire Super Bowl Bonus check ($83,000) to two charities, the relief effort in Haiti and the coastal renovation project in New Orleans.
According to Scott, "The people of this city and region have been so good to me and my family that we just felt strongly about doing something to protect the city we have come to love so much, and helping on the coastal issue has been on the back of my mind since I first got here."
Much ink is dedicated to the athletes who wind up in the news for all the wrong reasons, kudos to Scott who is in the news for all the right reasons.

Great deed, yet no one will hear of it. These are the things that should make the news. Thanks for sharing it.
