It’s a Lil’ Fan Friday!

A 5-year old fan from Rhode Island misses seeing her QB on television so much that she drew a picture of him to hang in her room!

Addison Costa and her whole family are BIG fans of Big Ben & the Steelers, and the 2018 NFL season can’t come soon enough! But until it arrives, she drew her very own picture of Ben to help her get through the summer!



We can definitely see the likeness! Great job, Addison!

“Thank you Ben!”

“My friend Jim and I were at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex for the Pens practice in May. We were standing in the parking lot talking and a gentleman approached us and stated that Ben was here, working out in the upstairs gym. We went inside and checked it out. Jim and I were both lucky to have something on us at the time for Ben to sign if we found him.

Ben walked out towards the exit and he was on the phone, I approached him and asked if he would mind signing my jersey and my friends photo. He signed both items for us! He could have kept on walking but he was nice enough to stop. We were both in complete disbelief that we actually got the chance to see Ben, let alone have him sign an autograph!!

Ben, I just wanted to personally thank you for stopping and signing my jersey and my friends photo yesterday. We both appreciate it, wishing you the best this season and into the future!” — Mike Slagle.


Mike, thank you for sharing your story & photos with us!

The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation at work

From Rita Michel at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

SharpsburgSharpsburg Mayor Matt Rudzki has sworn in the newest member of the borough police department — one of the four-legged variety.

K-9 Officer Jango will be working with Officer Jeff Hussar, who said he has fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming the department’s K-9 officer’s handler.

“I greatly appreciate it,” Officer Hussar said at council’s May 24 meeting.

A gift from the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation, as well as local donations helped bring in Jango, the vehicle that transports him and his training at Shallow Creek Kennels.

And from Mike Gauntner at WFMJ-Channel 21:

ArgoBeaver Township Police have a new partner to help them track down drugs and fight other crimes.

Argo, the department’s new K-9, has completed training, according to his handler Officer Chris Albert who adds that they’ve already made one arrest.

Police were able to add Argo to the force after receiving a grant from the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation at The Giving Back Fund.

The donation not only allowed the police department to replace its aging K-9 Hero but allowed an officer to become certified to train dogs from neighboring agencies in the future.
