“The Mel Blount Youth Home is honored that JuJu Smith-Schuster chose us to be the recipient of the Social Justice Funds this year,” Blount told Steelers.com. “During JuJu’s rookie year he and the other rookies in his class visited the youth home and spent a day working with our youth. He was great with them! I’m grateful JuJu remembered us and the experience he had with the kids. Thanks JuJu, for choosing the Mel Blount Youth Home as your choice to receive the social justice funds grant. We appreciate your partnership with us in investing in our youth.”
