April 5, 2008 - Second Annual Ben Roethlisberger Challenge1859 viewsPhoto & Story by Trish:
Just returned from Ben's basketball game in Findlay. He was joined by Brett Keisel and Nate Washington. It was a GREAT game. Ben broke his own scoring record that he set last year..I want to say he scored 47 points- the last basket was made w/seconds to go..and it broke the record from last year..crowd went WILD! He waited to shoot until time was almost out..and scored the last bucket.
Keisel had his usual slamdunk-but missed..but he did well throughout the game. Ben played the entire game. He was so fun to watch..very good ball player.
Washington was a riot..great player..and great entertainer.

June, 2014 - Pastor Jeff Rice 846 viewsThis one is a bit late in coming to us, but with good reason!
Pastor Jeff Rice, a HUGE Steelers fan, received the winning shoe for his birthday, but was not aware of it because it was his congregation that sent in his name for the June birthdays. When he actually won, they asked if they could keep Ben's shoe until October so that they could present it to him during October's Pastor Appreciation Month!
"As a life-long Steelers fan I could not imagine a nicer SURPRISE than a signed game shoe from Big Ben! Turning 50 is not so bad afterall! Thank you!!" -- Pastor Rice, Light House Worship, Alexandria, VA
We thought that was a great idea!

Sharing their Big Day with Big Ben!440 viewsCorey & Brittany Casper had a “surprise guest†appear at their wedding reception at Treesdale Country Club in May, and wanted to share their story:
“On our wedding day, May 17, 2013, we got more than any Pittsburgh fan could ever want. Our day was amazing and as we were enjoying ourselves at our wedding reception, we saw someone that looked familiar just outside the door! We went out in the hallway and saw the one and only Big Ben – coming back in from a round of golf with friends (see this week’s Picture of the Week)! We were so excited! He was very personable, taking time out of his night to say “hello†and to congratulate us on our marriage, and to pose for pictures with us! We were so excited to be able to share our big day with our favorite player on the Pittsburgh Steelers! We will forever remember this day thanks to Ben!! Thank you again for the amazing memory!!" – Corey & Brittany Casper
*Thank you and congratulations to Corey & Brittany!

She has been a fan in the making since the day she was born! I guess that’s what happens when she has a Mama who bleeds black and yellow! — Lauren Spence.

Pre-Season Game - August 24, 2013: Chiefs vs Steelers457 viewsYoung Tyler Hallsey is battling cancer. Recently, he had the opportunity to attend a Steelers pre-season game with his family, courtesy of former Steeler and current ESPN analyst Merril Hoge. It was a great night for Tyler, who also had the opportunity to meet and pose with Brett Keisel and Troy Polamalu, the man whose jersey he is wearing!
Tyler’s father, Chris, sent this email to share with other fans on his son’s experience:
When Tyler found out about his diagnosis he was scared and confused. We all were. My wife left the room to call her parents and give them the news. While she was out, Tyler and I talked about the road ahead and that it would be hard. We both made promises to each other, then I asked him what he thought we should do. He looked me in the eyes and said, “Whatever it takesâ€. I think Chuck Noll would be proud.
Since that day in February we have been team Whatever It Takes.
I think Tyler’s approach to fighting his brain tumor and Ben’s approach on the field are the same. You do whatever it takes. You do what others may not want to do or aren’t willing to do, in order to get the results you want. Sometimes that path is hard or perilous, but you do what has to be done. It’s inspiring to witness, especially when it comes from your son.
It would be impossible for me to properly express the amount of gratitude I have in my heart for Ben, and his willingness to take the time to meet Tyler. He loved every minute of it. Tyler is known for his constant smile, but this smile was even big for him! He was beyond happy.
A little while after we met Ben, we were in the tunnel waiting to see Troy Polamalu, when the team came out for final warm ups and Ben saw Tyler and said, “Hey! It’s my man Tyler!†He remembered his name and that made the day even more special. Tyler was in heaven. I know it was a brief moment for Ben, but those brief moments will bring a lifetime of joy to Tyler and my entire family.
I hope Ben knows how much that means to me as a father. This has been a terribly trying mountain to climb…it’s tough, but moments like these keep you going. They give you a much-needed second wind. As a father, I try to do everything in my power to ease Tyler’s burden, I would take it all if I could. As much as I try, moments like these are far beyond anything I could ever do. This was Ben pausing to help a little boy he didn’t even know, just for the sake of lifting him. No cameras, no press, just Ben and Tyler. While my gratitude is expressed with these two simple words, thank you, please know there is much more emotion and gratitude behind them. It was a black & gold dream come true!
Others will look at this picture and see a two time Super Bowl Champion and a 14-year-old boy bound to a wheelchair with an uncooperative body, but when I look at it, I see two giant men not afraid of a fight, and absolutely willing to do, “Whatever It Takes.â€
We are so proud to be a part of Steeler Natio. We always have been, but that conviction has grown even stronger. To Ben Roethlisberger, Troy Polamalu, Brett Keisel, Bruce Gradkoswki, Chris Hoke, Coach Mitchell, and of course, Merril Hoge who made this all happen, we thank you and we love you! Like we are part of Steeler Nation, you are now part of team “Whatever It Takesâ€! – Chris Hallsey
Steeler Nation is praying for you, Tyler!!

Remembering Rocco 1046 views"The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation started when a police K-9 was shot and killed where I grew up, in Findlay, OH. My family and I were moved by what that dog meant to the police force, and learned that similar K-9′s all over the country are helping to keep our communities safe. This last week, a K-9 officer named Rocco was killed in my current hometown of Pittsburgh. After talking with officer Phil Lerza and getting his blessing, the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation would like to announce that we are going to get Officer Lerza a new dog. Rocco can never be replaced, but we only hope to help with the healing process and to provide Officer Lerza with another loyal partner." -- Ben, February 10, 2014
