Charles Woodson, the philanthropist

Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson has donated $150,000 to his alma mater, the University of Michigan.

The money will go toward two scholarships. One in in honor of his mother. The other will be for a student majoring in kinesiology.

Jeff Ash of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports, "Both of the scholarships will go to incoming freshmen with financial needs from one of four communities -- Woodson's hometown of Fremont, Ohio; Detroit, the closest major city to the U of M; and Oakland, Calif., and Green Bay, where he's played in the NFL."

Maybe this will help to change people's minds when they think Woodson is a selfish person due to his unwillingness to attend offseason workouts in Green Bay.
