March 26, 2014: Santo1192 viewsâ€œOfficer Fritsch is heading to Indiana with Santo this weekend for the start of K9 training! We are very excited to have another K9 to help us in our efforts to combat the influx of drugs in our community. In addition, we are extremely grateful for the grant opportunity through the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation. Budgets are so tight and the funding from BRF aids in accomplishing our mission.â€ â€“ Captain Ben Bliven, Wausau Police Department, to us on March 28, 2014.

From WSAU News in Wisconsin:

Santo_OfficerFritsch_WausauPD_1Wausau Police officers have a new K-9 helper. Captain Ben Bliven says the new four-legged officer was brought to Wausau last weekend for his initial orientation. â€œSanto is our newest addition to the police department. He is a two-and-a-half year old German Shepherd, and his partner will be Shawn Fritsch, who is our newest canine handler.â€

Santo and officer Shawn Fritsch will be leaving this weekend for Denver, Indiana to train for six weeks before going on patrol together.

It costs police departments anywhere from ten to thirteen thousand dollars to acquire new K-9â€™s. Bliven says Santo was purchased with a grant they received from a professional football playerâ€™s foundation that focuses on police dogs. â€œWe were able to purchase Santo with the funding that we received from the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation grant that we received back in December.â€

â€œWelcome SANTO to our department. Ofc Shawn Fritsch picked him up from Denver, Indiana, Von Liche Kennels on Sunday. Thanks to the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation for the funding to help improve our community.â€ â€“ Posted by the Wausau (MI) Police Department on their official Facebook page, March 26, 2014.

Benjamin "Big Ben" Shank1189 views...said this was the best year of his life because he is 7-years old (you know, the #7) and he is also "Big Ben."

"Benjamin is holding his 2nd grade holiday project: a Christmas ornament-shaped paper designed with a favorite interest. Of course 'my' Big Ben chose the Steelers, showcasing #7 and Big Ben at the top! He also has all NFL teams and their records memorized for the 2012-2013 season and has his playoff predictions ready (Steelers are his #1 choice!). Not bad for a 7-year old!" -- Natalie Aikens

August, 2012 - Bryce Bishop1183 views"Today is a day that we'll never forget! I open the door to get the mail and see a package at my feet. It was addressed to my son Bryce. He's 8 now, his birthday was August 10th. And knowing he had already received all his gifts already, I had no idea what it was. Then I saw the BigBen7 on the shipping label. I did seem to recall entering Bryce's name in a contest. Never thinking about winning. To our amazement, it was one of Ben's game worn cleats. The truly remarkable thing about this, the story gets better. The cleat matches the style Ben wore at home against the Ravens. As I'm comparing photos, I notice a stain on the back by the word 'Nike' that matches exactly a photo from the game. To own the game used cleat, of a childhood hero, from your very first game in Pittsburgh has to be a once in a lifetime. My eyes fill with tears just trying to take all this in. Ben and Erin, Bryce and I could never thank you enough. We are so hopeful to see Ben real soon, as to get a picture of Bryce, Ben and the newest edition to the family, Ben's shoe. Thank you both so very much!" -- Steve Bishop

October 25, 2013 - Ben receives Law Enforcement Award1182 viewsâ€œTo be the first one outside of law enforcement to win this award, itâ€™s an awesome honor. The award means a lot to my foundation.â€ â€“ Ben

From Teresa Varley, Steelers.com:

Ben Roethlisberger was honored on Friday afternoon at the 13th Annual Amen Corner Senator John Heinz Law Enforcement Awards Luncheon at the Sheraton Hotel at Station Square.

Roethlisberger became the first non-law enforcement individual to be honored by the Amen Corner, receiving the award for his contribution to K-9 units of police and fire departments in the Pittsburgh area and throughout the country through his foundation.

The luncheon annually honors a select group of police officers for their heroic actions, with 10 officers from the Western Pennsylvania area honored this year. Each of the law enforcement officers will receive a statuette, modeled after the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial near Heinz Field.

Congratulations on this honor, Ben! It is well deserved. Zeus is wagging his tail from Heaven!

*Thank you to Mr. Stokey, WTAE news anchor & sports director, for the photos!
