HOUSTON (KTRK) -- After asking for donations instead of presents for their birthday party this year, JJ Watt sent these boys thank you gifts.

These two young fans raised $800 for the JJ Watt Foundation, which funds middle school athletic programs and organizations.

After their parents tweeted the Texans defensive end, he responded letting them know that he appreciate their "baller move," and would be sending them gifts.

The boys received signed helmets and a personal letter thanking each of them for their generosity.

They have already started to plan for next year's party and have set a goal to raise $2,000.
