JJ Watt will not hold annual Charity Classic this year

Monday, February 26, 2018
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- If you were hoping to take part in JJ Watt's annual Charity Classic this year, you'll have to wait until 2019.

Watt tweeted to a fan on Sunday that he won't be holding the event this time around because, "I have taken this year to focus on getting my leg/body ready for the season, the ongoing hurricane recovery efforts & our after-school athletic programs."

Watt hasn't played a full season since 2015.

When Hurricane Harvey hit, he raised $37 million to help with recovery and explained how most of the money will be distributed.
