The Waymon Webster Scholarship Fund awarded $1 million in scholarships to 100 HBCU seniors to cover tuition costs.
Fans filled the stadium and held up autographs of their favorite celebrities at the event.
Texans Pro Bowl selection and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year CJ Stroud put on a show at the annual event, hitting a home run at Minute Maid Park.
He was named the best player in the charity event.
“There's a good reason for this. I'm grateful that Trav let me out,” Stroud said. “It was a cool couple of hours. I've played around with it since I was an adult. I was able to take some swings. Just having fun, nothing serious.”
Stroud was outstanding and seemed like a natural baseball player. He hit a double and a home run during the game.
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin also made an emotional comeback from a life-threatening injury and returned to playing football.
“It means everything,” Hamlin said. “Football was my first love even before I fell in love with a girl. Football was my first love. To have the opportunity to get back on the field means everything to me. It means everything.”
