While our city has many reasons to be proud, I think that anyone could agree these players may be number one. Earning a total of six Super Bowl rings over the years and being a part of the City of Champions, our Steelers have become a large part of our lives in western Pennsylvania. There is good news for you Steelers fans here in Freedom: the men who have represented the Steel City in the NFL for years are giving attention to other communities, and visiting yours. As a fundraising event for the 2010 prom, the upper class student councils have arranged for one exciting game to be played in our gymnasium. On Wednesday, March 10, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be competing in a basketball game against the staff of Freedom Area School District. The Freedom team will consist of staff, including our own Mr. Short, Mr. Hernandez, and even our Vice Principal Mr. Delp. Also Mr. Culler, Mr. Matsook, and Mr. Kelm from the middle school will be participating in the game as well as others from the district. This will be the second visit the Steelers have made to Freedom for a money-raising game, and the prom fundraising is hoping the event will be just as successful as the last time. "We will have people coming from the county to see the Steelers, and it will bring in a great profit," says Ian Lint, junior class president. Ticket sales began in every Freedom school office on Feb. 8 and are being sold for $7 a person. There is limited seating and everyone is hoping for a full house. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the game will begin at 8. Among the festivities, there will be a Steelers Super Bowl jersey raffle, a 50/50 raffle, autograph signing, and a concession stand to keep all of the fans happy. The Steelers and Freedom would also like to give back to the community during the event. Non-perishable items will be collected at the doors and donated to our local food banks. With charity, fundraising, food, fans and fun, the night is looking like it will be a success, with the help of the Freedom and surrounding communities. "I’m hoping that everyone will have a great time," says Lint. Will our staff hold their own against the professional athletes? Will the football players fail to deliver on a different playing field? Find out on March 10, in the Freedom high school gymnasium .
