January 8, 2012 - The Archery Trade Association Show1153 viewsFrom Ben's friend Nick Sampson:

"Ben and I had our contest on who could shoot the most flying archery targets. Remember we did it last year with the pink bows. He picked up one of my video cameras and was filming me and heckling me to try to put pressure on me. Ben won this year by one target."

January 8, 2012 - The Archery Trade Association Show1089 viewsBen also took a few moments to answer questions from Archery Timeâ€˜s Matt Coffey:

Why do you like coming to the ATA?

This is my third year (at the ATA Trade Show) and weâ€™re hoping to bring it to Pittsburgh so itâ€™s a little closer for us. Iâ€™ve met some good friends through Bowtech and have developed even more friendships through (archery). I enjoy coming here because I love hunting, thatâ€™s the main reason. To come here and see the new things coming out and to see friends I donâ€™t get to see except for this time of year is excellent.

How do you find time to hunt during football season?

We usually get one or two days off a week â€“ or at least half days â€“ so I usually get out quite a bit. Now that the (football) seasonâ€™s over, Iâ€™ve been out the last five or six days. I get out as much as I can, trust me.

How did last deer season end up for you?

Weâ€™re doing a lot of herd management and killing a lot of does and weâ€™ve taken a couple nice bucks off my parentsâ€™ property. Overall, the turkeys and deer have been great.

*Thank you Matt and Archery Time!! Check 'em out: http://www.archerytime.com/Jan 09, 2013

2012 Troy Polamalu Poynesian Luau1425 viewsBen poses with Nick Muna, who performed at the event.

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

The lucky 425 guests who got their tickets early made their way to the Westin Convention Center Friday night where the call of conch shells and Kukui nut leis welcomed all.

A traditional luau performance by Netane Polynesian Entertainment and the Fiji and Common Kings provided an authentic South Seas soundtrack to the soiree as well as spectacular ceremonial dances.

Steelers No. 43, Troy Polamalu, with his wife, Theodora, and their sons, Ephraim and Paisios, mingled during cocktails with guests including 84 Lumber's Joe Hardy, Jan and Richard Piacentini, Dick Singer, Bill Baierl, Dr. Joseph Maroon and The Pittsburgh Foundation's Lindsay Aroesty.

The party benefited the Troy Polamalu Football Camp in American Samoa and the Harry Panos Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation, named after Theodora Polamalu's grandfather, which helps military veterans. Sponsored by Head & Shoulders and the Citrone family, the evening featured lots of flowing locks and flowery shirts.

Many of Polamalu's teammates were among the guests, including Ben Roethlisberger, Ziggy Hood (with Sara), Rashard Mendenhall, Casey Hampton, Charlie and Latasha Batch, Jerome Bettis and Heath Miller. Ryan Clark (with Yonka) and WDVE-FM's Randy Baumann acted as official live auctioneers, with Brett Keisel and James Harrison jumping in to encourage some major bidding. "Polamalisa" -- a "Mona Lisa"/Polamalu hybird painting signed by Troy -- brought in $12,000.

October 26, 2012 - Make-A-Wish receives check for $25,0001521 viewsThe Ben Roethlisberger Foundation donated $25,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation! That money will allow Make-A-Wish to grant wishes to six children!

Ben presented the check to Judith Stone (pictured with Ben and his father, Ken), President and CEO of Make-A-Wish during an impromptu press conference this afternoon after practice.

The money was raised during The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation Invitational Golf Tournament in July.

For the past several years, Ben has devoted his time to the Make-A-Wish Foundation because of his passion to help children.

â€œItâ€™s no secret how much the kids mean to me. When someone has a wish and they want to spend it with the Steelers that touches you and is special. For us to be able to do this and be able to have six kidâ€™s wishes come true is awesome. Being there to meet them, shake their hand, sign an autograph means a lot to me.â€ â€“ Ben.
