Steelers’ Le’Veon Bell took a break from dropping freestyle disses targeting Skip Bayless to drop a huge donation to his high school.
The running back has donated $750,000 to Groveport Madison High School in Ohio for turf installation on the school’s football field.
“This is an incredible gift to the Groveport Madison Schools community,” Groveport Madison Superintendent Bruce Hoover said, per Chad Conant of ABC6. “Le’Veon and his mother, Lisa, give credit to many people at GMHS, most particularly to coach Bryan Schoonover, for helping Le’Veon during his high school years.
“This gift speaks to the power of strong, trusting relationships between our students and staff. It also demonstrates the power and connection between our schools and our alumni—and what it means to be a Cruiser.”
To show appreciation, the school will rename the Cruiser Stadium field, “Le’Veon Bell Field” in honor of the Steelers’ newly tagged franchise player. After making only $2.4 million over his first four NFL seasons, Bell will earn a base of $12.1 million next season.
