BEREA, Ohio (AP) – Scott Fujita signed as a free agent with Cleveland in March. His heart stayed behind in New Orleans.
Fujita has remained loyal to Louisiana from his time with the Saints’ Super Bowl championship team. He’s involved in helping preserve the wetlands that were devastated five years ago by Hurricane Katrina and most recently by the BP oil spill.
Fujita donated $25,000 of his playoff winnings to two groups that specialize in coastal restoration.
The 31-year-old is keeping a home in New Orleans and wishes more NFL players would use their fame to raise awareness for social causes.
He’s also been active in helping fight breast cancer and providing free health care for underprivileged children.
