Ben Roethlisberger has already built his legacy on the
football field and is expanding on it through his philanthropic work. The
Roethlisberger Family Foundation brings a long-term vision for community
development by building the American family. The development of Families in
America comes after Roethlisberger built a legacy as one of the legendary
American quarterbacks.
The path to Pittsburgh and his philanthropy work in the Northeast has been long and
winding. Ben Roethlisberger was one of
the hotly-tipped recruits following his senior year at high school.
Anticipation about the quarterback’s skills was driven by a single season
starting for Findlay High School in Ohio. The quarterback’s skills prompted
Miami (Ohio) College to offer him a scholarship after one game of his senior
season.
Ben Roethlisberger has faced adversity as he broke into the college and
professional ranks. The quarterback built his career in the college game over
time and built a strong following for his passing and rushing skills. After
breaking almost every quarterback record at Miami (Ohio) University,
Roethlisberger declared for the 2004 NFL Draft and attracted the attention of
all 32 professional teams. On day one of the NFL Draft, Roethlisberger was
drafted at number 11 by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After taking the starting quarterback job in the second game of the 2004 season,
Roethlisberger built one of the greatest rookie seasons ever recorded by the
NFL. The only loss Roethlisberger suffered in his rookie season was in the
Championship game. The wait for a Super Bowl ring would not be a long one, with
the quarterback’s excellent form leading to two Super Bowl wins during his
career.
Ben Roethlisberger is just as pleased by his philanthropy as he is by his Super
Bowl wins. Among the charitable programs he backs is a free meal project he
shares with musician Mich Tyler. Read this article for additional
