Proceeds from the game will benefit JJ Watt Foundation’s mission to provide funding for middle school after-school athletic programs.

“The Charity Classic is always one of my favorite days of the year,” Watt said in a release. “My teammates come out; the fans are unbelievable... I started this foundation back when I was in college, and I never imagined it would grow to where it is today.”
