Steeler Does Good
Horst Hoefinger

A short but nice story on a football player who’s making a difference.

CAMBRIDGE SPRINGS, Pa. – Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is helping a northwestern Pennsylvania police department fight crime.

The Cambridge Springs police department used $8,000 from the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation to care for and equip a new 2-year-old German shepherd. The department paid $11,000 for the dog, which was raised in a community fundraiser.

Roethlisberger’s foundation provides funding to train, equip and purchase police dogs. The foundation has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay for service dogs used by police and fire departments in Pennsylvania, Roethlisberger’s home state of Ohio and elsewhere.

We give Ben Roethlisberger four paws up!

* I think Leroy is a fan of football

    That is our Amazing and Great team! As a little pup, I got to go to Steeler’s Tailgate Parties and games. That was how I got my nickname “Tommy Gun” aftere Tommy Maddox who was the quarterback then. But I reallly love Ben and mum just adores Troy Polamalu. We have been long time Steeler fans and we don’t miss a Steeler game on TV. Mum used to run a Bridal store in Pittsburgh (during the 70’s) and sold many a Steeler wife (including Terry Bradshaw’s wife JoJo Starbuck) their wedding gowns. Check our pages during Football season for our Steeler pics and videos. And if you want a pic- drop us a line and mum will get you a Steeler pic for your page.
