When Ben Roethlisberger steps onto a football field, you know that a passing record is probably going to get broken. Ben Roethlisberger is known as “Big Ben”, that’s what he does. However, did you know that he’s also a legend off the field as well? Ben is one of the most charitable people on the planet and has made it his mission every single day to improve the lives of others. He’s all heart and has proven it time and again with his charitable work.

Family is the Long Game

You’ve heard of playing the long game before, and Ben has done so many times on the field. However, one day he came to a new realization that the real long game is building a stable and happy family. Ben Roethlisberger didn’t just apply this logic to his own life though, he used it to create the Roethlisberger Family Foundation to help others to build strong families as well.

Feeding the Hungry

There is nothing worse than being hungry and having nowhere to turn. Ben understands this and partnered with the Light of Life Rescue Mission to provide meals for the needy. The way it worked is when someone would buy a t-shirt, Ben Roethlisberger and recording artist Micah Tyler would donate a meal to someone who needed it. Things worked out great and many people got fed thanks to this program which was called the DIFFERENT Campaign.

Saving Babies

It’s not everyone who can say that they have saved a baby, but Ben Roethlisberger can. This is because he and his wife are heavily involved in supporting the NeoLight program. This program is designed to create products and services for babies that get jaundice which is the #1 reason that infants have to be hospitalized after birth. Thanks to this, babies are getting saved every day because of Ben. See this article for additional information.
