Giving back never goes out of style. Thanks to Houston Style Magazine for their coverage on JJ’s recent visit to KIPP Spirit and KIPP Liberation Schools. The donation will help further the mission of the Justin J. Watt Foundation to provide after-school opportunities for children in the community to become involved in athletics.

Great article which includes the J.J. Watt Foundation in the CBS Local. Article

J.J. Watt throwing out the first pitch at the Astros game last night! Cannot express how much we appreciate the love shown this weekend. Best fans out there. Thankful for all your support of J.J. and the Justin J. Watt Foundation!

Tonight J.J. received the Ovation Award. Below is his statement upon receiving the award.
The best part about my job as a professional athlete is being able to use this platform to help affect the lives of others. To help get a positive message out to our country’s youth and encourage them to stand up and work towards their dreams and goals. There is a lot of negativity in today’s world and everywhere you look, it seems as though someone is trying to bring you down rather than help you rise up. That is why I am grateful and honored to accept this Ovation Award and to be part of this great group of people who are working hard to make the world a better place. I am proud to represent the great people of Houston and I will always work hard both on and off the field to make you proud of me. Thank you to the Houston Grand Opera and everyone who voted for me. Have a great night! 

Thank you to all the teachers & kids at Horizon School in Pewaukee for writing letters to the troops for me to take on my USO tour next week.  It was great to be back at my old school talk to you all about what respect, work ethic and what it took to fulfill my dreams to play in the NFL,  Dream Big Work Hard.  I am excited to hand deliver your letters to our service men and women – Thank you ~ J.J.
