Woodson Day
This Thursday has been declared Woodson Day at Mott's Children's Hospital, in honor of the many good works of Mr. Charles Woodson. From annarbor.com:
"Woodson will receive the first Mott Champions for Children Award at 10:30 a.m. Thursday and then visit patients on "Woodson Day" at Mott. Woodson donated $2 million to Mott in 2009 as part of The Charles Woodson Clinical Research Fund. Woodson and former Mott patient Max Merget will throw out the first pitch Wednesday at the Detroit Tigers-Seattle Mariners game."
EDIT: If someone could tell me how to make those nice yellow boxes for quotes, I would appreciate it.

I'm going to sit in a lawn chair with my Woodson jersey on and drink gin to celebrate Woodson day.

<br>But in all seriousness, a very well deserved honor for a great man.

Hey Mr. Woodson

Saving kids now I'm back again

Every day for him is Charles Woodson Day.
EDIT - Fun fact: that guy congratulating him at 1:12 looks familiar...

This is just an amazing and unforgettable play. +1 for the funny comment

Its funny to see Hoke talking to him at the end of that clip as well
on the jersey sleeves

Man, I am a huge Steelers fan, but I am pretty thrilled nonetheless that he got his ring this year. No one deserved it more. What an awesome person

Well deserved!! I love Mr. Woodson. Named my Doberman after him and #2 is my favorite number. What a great Michigan man. God, I wish we could get a corner with his skill set again.

Simple enough.

I've never heard or read about Woodson having any children. I hope so, because he is doing such great things for the kids at Motts that he should be having kids of his own too. There cannot be many better ways to spend money than on a children's hospital. Kudos to Woodson - this honor is well-deserved!
Charles Woodson and his wife have two sons under 3 years old. Apparently when the first was born healthy, he began to think about those less forturnate.

I work in clinical research and can tell you how incredibly important his donation is. This honor is so richly deserved--I love hearing stories about Michigan football alums continuing to do great things (without the self-promotion!)

Feel like it ought to be 2/21 in honor of his jersey #s in Ann Arbor and Green Bay.
He obviously deserves the honor (and then some), but I can't help think it would be more impactful if done during the school year, rather than the tail end of final exams when fewer students are around.

February 1st.
You like what I did there, eh?
and Super Bowls is one thing, a donation that size is another. Doing all of it without making it about himself is just incredible. Way to go.
His generosity and humility demonstrate his true character - that of a Michigan Man.
And that pick is one of my top 5 All Time Football plays.
people like Charles Woodson. Our secondary also needs more people like Charles Woodson!

Go out and buy his wine as well...the more he sells makes more dollars available for Mott...in a rather indirect way.
