Ben Roethlisberger is one of the most charitable NFL players ever. He proved himself on the field to be a god of football and now he’s proving himself to be one of the most caring people on the planet with his charitable work. Ben is best known for three charitable causes: NeoLight, Light of Life, and the Roethlisberger Family Foundation. Let’s go over each and why Big Ben has been so active in the world of charity.

Who is Ben Roethlisberger?

Everyone knows the name and the fact that this man is a football legend, but why is he so amazing? In high school Ben dominated basketball, baseball, and football. Ben Roethlisberger broke many records, won championships, and was the captain of his team. In college, it was much the same. Getting recruited in the first round of the NFL draft by the Pittsburg Stealers, Ben would go on to cement his legacy with two Superbowl wins and more broken records.

Saving Babies

By working with the NeoLight Project, Ben Roethlisberger has been saving the lives of babies afflicted with jaundice. This disease is the #1 reason babies have to be sent back to the hospital after birth. By supporting their programs and products Ben has saved many lives.

Feeding the Hungry

Roethlisberger partnered with recording artist Micah Tyler for the DIFFERENT campaign hosted by Light of Life. This program would donate a free meal to someone in need every time a t-shirt was purchased. Both Light of Life and Micah would express their gratitude and respect for Ben during this project.

The Roethlisberger Family Foundation

Building a strong family is the most important thing in life, and that’s exactly what Ben wants to help people do. This isn’t always easy so families experiencing struggles can turn to Ben’s foundation to get the help they need in coming closer together and making it through the difficult times.
