Steelers QB’s gift goes to local police dogs ahead of game

Perry A. Farrell Detroit Free Press

Maybe Big Ben’s act of local kindness was a way of softening up the Detroit Lions before Sunday night’s game at Ford Field. But he does it each week for opponents when the Pittsburgh Steelers are on road. On Oct. 26, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlis­ berger announced the seventh and eighth K-9 grant awards of the 2017 season from his founda­ tion at The Giving Back Fund. The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation will be distributing grants, aimed at supporting police dogs, to the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office and the Livonia Police Department. The Macomb sheriff will use the grant funds to add another dog to their unit, while the Livonia department will use the funds to purchase safety and training equipment. Throughout this season, the foundation will be distributing grants to K-9 units of police and fire Seedlings founder Debra Bonde talks about the birth of Seedlings, in the basement of her home, bill bresler | hometownlife.com departments in the cities of each regular season away game for the Steelers.
