Throwback Thursday – Latrobe Memories

From fan Trisha Beeler on August 12, 2015:

Trisha

My son Eustis and I would like to thank Ben from the very bottom of our hearts for the very amazing and impressionable first time ever at Steeler’s Training Camp on Wednesday, August 5th.

It exceeded my expectations more than I ever could have dreamed. Thank you so much Ben for making my son’s day! Big Ben so graciously took his cleat off, signed it, and handed it to my son!! It just happened so fast and we were in shock so I’m pretty sure we never got to thank him, but if you’re reading this now Big Ben, you are our HERO, you are a true class act! — Trisha & Eustis.




Update: Fan Carol Evans saw this “thank you” and wanted to add her own observations from that day –


I was standing right beside this little guy when Ben did this. I thought it was one of the nicest things I had ever seen a player do. We thought Ben passed him by, but then turned around, went back to his cart, took his shoe off, and handed it to this little guy! I patted him on the back, for a job well done! I think Ben’s thanks came from the response of the crowd. He gave his other shoe to a little girl, who was being held by her mother. Way to go Ben!




And another “thank you” for Ben that arrived on the same day:

I am an auxiliary police officer for the city of Canton, Ohio. On August 9th, Ben got a little lost trying to figure out where to park for the Hall of Fame game. With a little help from us, he got parked and in there on time. He was nice enough to take a photo with us, and I just wanted to thank Ben for taking the time to do so! — Bobby Kinser.





Trisha, Carol and Bobby, thank you both for sharing your photos and thoughts with us!

One wish comes true…

and then another!


“After being diagnosed with cancer, 17-year-old Garrett wished to design new uniforms for his high school football team. He spent countless hours collaborating with Nike Football to make his vision come to life, and today, his wish came true. With his team, coaches and family by his side, Garrett was surprised with his wish-come-true by his favorite Pittsburgh Steelers player, Big Ben!” — Make-A-Wish Greater PA and WV.








Garrett, this was a great thing you did for your teammates. God bless you! We’re praying for you!!


Thank you so much to Make-A-Wish Greater PA and WV for sharing the photos with us!



Freeport Athletics shared more photos with us! 📷


“Pics from today as Garrett King and Make-A-Wish Greater PA and WV surprised his football teammates with a trip to Heinz Field and an appearance by Ben…huge thanks to Garrett King for thinking of not just himself but his whole Yellowjacket team!”

#KingStrong

Training Camp Memories…

From our post on August 6, 2019 – “#RandomActsOfKindness“:




Katie Stern @ktystern
Lucas, age 4, at @steelers training camp today passing out Terrible Towels to other kids as Random Acts of Kindness in memory of his brother, Toby❤️ Can he get a shout out? @TeamJuJu @JamesConner_ @_BigBen7 #thelittlefoxfoundation



Now when Teresa Varley & Missi Matthews heard that young Lucas was at camp today giving out Terrible Towels to other kids in his brother’s memory, they wanted to return the favor and let him meet Ben, James Conner & JuJu.


Teresa shared these wonderful photos with us:








From Lucas’ parents this evening:

Ben met our son, Lucas, at training camp. Lucas was passing out Terrible Towels as Random Acts of Kindness in honor of his brother, Toby, who died from SIDS in August, 2016.

Ben met and talked with Luke on the field after practice, and spoke with my husband about our non-profit, The Little Fox – Toby’s Foundation, and our annual Random Acts of Kindness Campaign we do in August in Toby’s memory.

Thank you to Ben for making Luke’s day! It was a moment we will never forget. We know that Toby was smiling down from heaven watching his big brother.
