June 10, 2013 - Big Ben receives National Champion of Youth Award
For the past four years, the organization said hundreds of inner-city children had a dream come true when they found themselves on a football field with “Big Ben.â€
Ben financed the cost of mini-camp experiences and took time to make each child feel special.
â€For many of the children in attendance from the Boys & Girls Club, this became their only summer vacation, and Ben provided them with memories that will last a lifetime†said Mike Hepler, president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania.
Hepler said the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western PA wants to focus on the impact Ben has had on young people in the community.
