Ben's Foundation at work1904 viewsFrom an article on February 23, 2011 at KTAR News in Phoenix:
The Phoenix Fire Department's urban search and rescue team will not go to New Zealand to help with earthquake recovery, but the team still spent Wednesday morning training its search dogs to deal with disasters.
A firefighter was lowered into a hole under concrete rubble in Tempe and it was up to a black lab named Big Ben -- after Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger -- to find the trapped man.
"Ben Roethlisberger actually donated dog food for a year and 15 annual physicals for our dogs," said Fire Capt. John Dean.
He noted Big Ben found his man in a matter of seconds, while it could have taken firefighters minutes or hours.
"Even with all the technology we have -- and we embrace it, we're always looking for new ideas and new things -- you just can't beat that dog and their nose, and they're nice to have around, too."

December 16, 2016 - Lil' Fan Friday567 viewsThis tiny Steelers tike does IT ALL!!
According to her mom, Ebony, 2-1/2 year old Essence Smith not only watches the games, but she coaches her team on game day with positive reinforcement for plays well done! She is a mini-Coach Tomlin yelling, “Lets go STEELERS, and “Lets go BOYSâ€. And putting on her #7 jersey is a must before she stands in front of the TV watching her “boysâ€.
This pint-sized PR gal has also inspired her friends to be a part of the Steeler Nation also.
We see good things in her future!

Irons Mill Farmstead has a 10-acre corn maze, gigantic jumping pillow, tire mountain, hay maze, super slides, farm animals, pumpkins, and tons of fun for kids from 2 to 92.
Did we mention that the corn maze is not just any run of the mill corn maze! This is STEELERS COUNTRY so we’re talking about a 10-acre STEELERS CORN MAZE!
“This year we decided to make our corn maze design STEELERS! In doing so, we like to choose a relevant organization to work with to offer a fundraising opportunity. We chose the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation as a way to show our appreciation to those men and women in our police and fire depts. who risk their lives to serve and protect us. Our family is thankful for the incredible sacrifices they make each and every day. As a family farm, we know the important role animals play in all of our lives. It is so neat to see how the unique talents of animals can be utilized for such amazing things! We love the fact that we can support the men and women who rely on highly trained animals for support and protection.†– Stacy Milliron
The Farmstead offered discount coupons to fans on admission with portions of the proceeds benefiting Ben's foundation!
