June, 2014 - Pastor Jeff Rice 859 viewsThis one is a bit late in coming to us, but with good reason!
Pastor Jeff Rice, a HUGE Steelers fan, received the winning shoe for his birthday, but was not aware of it because it was his congregation that sent in his name for the June birthdays. When he actually won, they asked if they could keep Ben's shoe until October so that they could present it to him during October's Pastor Appreciation Month!
"As a life-long Steelers fan I could not imagine a nicer SURPRISE than a signed game shoe from Big Ben! Turning 50 is not so bad afterall! Thank you!!" -- Pastor Rice, Light House Worship, Alexandria, VA
We thought that was a great idea!

March, 2014 - Patrick Williams1102 viewsErin:
Received the cleat. Kathleen was so excited when she saw the box on the front porch that she was giggling. She went right up and put her pink Big Ben jersey on and her brother's breast cancer Steelers cap and posed in front of Connor's framed Ben bumble bee jersey.
The shoe now sits atop our shrine to the little man, which commemorates many good times for us (the three amigos)- all centered around our familial love of the Black and Gold.
Thanks for the Pleasant Surprise and Here We Go Steelers!!! -- Pat

June, 2016 - Robert Rush760 views..turned 79 years young on June 10th and looked ready to try on Ben's shoes and throw a couple passes!
"My Dad couldn't smile any bigger than he is here, after Ben sent him the pair of game worn shoes from the Steeler's victory over the Bengals in the 2015 Wild Card game. As a life long Steeler fan and an individual that, when finances were extremely tight in 1974, emptied the family savings to buy equipment and start a community Pee Wee football program, in Camden, Ohio, he still enjoys catching every Steeler game. Bob Rush worked at Miami University during Ben's career and retired a few years ago. His only tough decision right now is deciding if he should display these size 14's in the family curio or wear them as house shoes." -- Vince Rush.

"When I received the news that I was the winner of May I was so thrilled! I could not believe it,and when finally I had the shoe in my hands it was a dream come true...I won the autographed shoe of Big Benny, favorite player of my favorite team!!! In the picture, behind me, you can see one of the big mountains that we have where I live.This one is the icon of the city (Monterrey, Mexico) and the name is "Cerro de la Silla" wich means ¨horse chair mountain¨. This mountain is the best proof that Ben´s shoe made a long trip outside the USA." - Roger Saucedo
