Steelers legend Jerome Bettis is coming through for some local kids in a big way.
The Hall of Famer announced on Twitter Wednesday that he is extending his memorabilia giveaway in hopes of raising money to provide Pittsburgh-area students with essential technology they need to finish the school year online.
Bettis is hoping to raise $25,000 to supply the students with devices that will allow them to close out the semester from home.
Part 2: I've decided to extend my campaign/giveaway of 2 autographed footballs and expand on it to hopefully raise close to $25,000 to supply these students with the proper devices.

Those who donate will have a chance to win signed jerseys, helmets, Terrible Towels and even dinner for four with the Bus at his Jerome Bettis Grille 36 on the North Shore.
