October 26, 2012 - Make-A-Wish receives check for $25,0001291 viewsThe Ben Roethlisberger Foundation donated $25,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation! That money will allow Make-A-Wish to grant wishes to six children!
Ben presented the check to Judith Stone (pictured with Ben and his father, Ken), President and CEO of Make-A-Wish during an impromptu press conference this afternoon after practice.
The money was raised during The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation Invitational Golf Tournament in July.
For the past several years, Ben has devoted his time to the Make-A-Wish Foundation because of his passion to help children.
“It’s no secret how much the kids mean to me. When someone has a wish and they want to spend it with the Steelers that touches you and is special. For us to be able to do this and be able to have six kid’s wishes come true is awesome. Being there to meet them, shake their hand, sign an autograph means a lot to me.†– Ben.

In Memory of Connor447 viewsMy son, Connor had always wanted Ben’s autograph but never got it. I teared up after and felt like I accomplished something for him. That jersey will be framed with a plaque honoring my son in our basement, which is heavily laden with Steeler memorabilia.
Thank you, Mr. Roethlisberger for your sympathy. Thank you also for all the time you spent, in spite of being banged up, signing autographs. You made one little girl’s, and a couple of her buddies’ day.†– Sincerely, Patrick Williams

July, 2013 - Big Ben in VA Beach446 viewsMandy Banks, who works at Flip Flops in VA Beach, said she didn't even realize it was Ben she was waiting on until after she had introduced herself to his party, and told them the specials on the menu.
"He was very cool and understanding because FlipFlops gets super busy, especially in the summer time and we were really busy that night," said Mandy. "His wife and friends were equally as awesome.
"I actually met him a few years ago in the Bahamas when I was there working at Michael Jordan's celebrity golf tournament. He was just as down to earth and personable then!"
*Thank you so much Mandy!

March 2, 2011 - Determination paid off for Heather Scott!579 viewsWe sat across from the OU bench, and I scanned the crowd for any sign of Big Ben. I saw a really big guy with a blonde woman on his arm enter the arena from the tunnel and make their way to the press table. I spent the entire first half determining whether that really was Ben, but when I saw him sign a jersey for someone, BAM! I knew it was Ben for sure AND he gave an autograph! (HA! in your face Uncle Jim!) Well adrenaline kicked in and I made my way to Guest Services, where I explained that I was from the Burgh area, had my terrible towel, and asked if they could possibly get it to him to sign. Yeah… Not quite. They didn’t budge and in fact tried to act like it wasn’t Ben. I wasn’t giving up. I asked if they knew anyone else that could possibly help me. Surprisingly they directed me to a gentleman in a suit standing just down the hall. Although he empathized, he said as an OU employee he could not take me to Ben, nor take anything to him for an autograph. He explained that Ben didn’t want his attendance announced as he didn’t want to take away from his sister’s Senior Night. BUT this gentlemen understood my plight, and who knew, he was from Pittsburgh too! He suggested I try to meet Ben outside of the arena.
We stayed through Carlee’s senior tribute, then headed to the parking area. Just as I came around the corner of the building, he and Ashley were headed in my direction from the opposite side. Once he got close enough I kindly asked if he’d “do a Pittsburgh gal a favor and take a picture with me.†At least that’s what my friend said I said (lol).
Ben was so nice to stop, and said “Sure, come onâ€. My heart was beating a million miles a minute. I could not believe it! I hopped on over and put my small arm around him – I’m pretty sure squeezing his side way too tight, and had the biggest smile on my face...
