“The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation for its generosity in awarding us the $10,000 grant for the purchase of a new K-9. Funding a new K-9 for the sheriff’s office will have a such a positive effect not only for the sheriff’s office, but for the entire community. Again, thank you to Mr. Roethlisberger and the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation,” said Montgomery County Sheriff’s office Chief Deputy Ryan Needham.
During the season, Roethlisberger’s foundation is giving grants to police and fire departments in the communities of each regular season away game. The foundation also distributes grants in the Pittsburgh area.
This marks the 10th season that the foundation has distributed grants to K-9 units. The mission of the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation is to support K-9 units of police and fire departments throughout the United States, with a particular emphasis on support for service dogs in Pittsburgh, Pa. Roethlisberger and the Foundation also support Make-A-Wish.
You can support the foundation on a crowdfunding campaign here. Big Ben is pledging $1,000 per touchdown this season to his foundation. Supporters can increase the impact by pledging to donate any amount per touchdown.
All those years of rooting against the guy ( college) and every so often you have to hand it to him. This is a heck of a deal.
