Cam Heyward Hosts Suiting Up for Success Event

Just hours after he was named the PFWA’s Good Guy Award, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward was back out in the community making a difference Tuesday.

The Heyward House held their first ever Suiting Up For Success event, as Heyward and his foundation honored and celebrated 27 local students nominated for being good humanitarians. h

Not only did they recognize the students with a banquet and photoshoot with Heyward along the Allegheny River, but they were also gifted suits, dress shoes and ties to prepare for their next stage in life.

We provided 27 young Pittsburgh men with suits, shoes, and ties for the next phase in their lives.

The event was a part of the foundation’s “Craig’s Closet” initiative, which provides professional attire to local high school students for use during job interviews, internships and other career centric life events.

In addition to winning the PFWA Good Guy Award, Heyward also won The Chief Award and was the Steelers’ nominee for the NFL Walter Peyton Man of the Year Award.
