April 5, 2008 - Second Annual Ben Roethlisberger Challenge1502 viewsPhoto & Story by Trish:
Ben raffled off many items..and darn it..I was 3 tiks away (in numbers) from winning his cleats.
Ben packed the house in..tiks were sold out and people were begging to buy ours..we had 1 extra tik so we gave it away. The crowd went WILD when Ben's team came out..very cool. They won like 107-90-not for sure. It was pandemonium when the game ended.
It looked like he made a lot of money for the scholarship..everyone had a blast. Ben entertained the crowd. He threw t-shirts to kids, did tons of raffles, and just looked like he was having so much fun. He took pics w/each member of the opposing team, the refs, refs kids. Very nice. Apr 06, 2008

When they announced the guys on Ben's team they gave their bios/accomplisments..etc. When it came to Ben..the list was so long that Ben started laughing and told them to stop.
Then, one of the guys on his team had the announcers say he (guy on team) was a "self proclaimed point guard star" and was beefing himself up to be better than Ben (jokingly)..well when game started Ben got ball to him and the guy missed..he joked to Ben that he thought Ben was on point and Ben laughed and said " I thought you were were the point guard star..isn't that what you said"..or something to that effect ..everyone cracked up.

I had a great time..the people who ran the event and the fans there were gracious and so friendly. Ben and his team were having a blast right along w/the crowd. What a great thing for him to do for his hometown. It is quite apparent that they are as proud of him as he is of the town.
