Pittsburgh Carson Scholars Fund Charity Auction

Pittsburgh Steelers Hines Ward, Deshea Townsend, Willie Parker, Jeff Reed, and LaMarr Woodley joined their former teammate, Jerome Bettis, and nearly 200 guests at Bossa Nova for the Pittsburgh Carson Scholars Fund’s Fifth Annual Charity Auction and Cocktail Event. Bettis co-hosted the event with Dr. Alfonso Costa, president of the Pittsburgh chapter of the Carson Scholars Fund, to raise funds for the organization. Notable auction items included a package of dinner with The Bus and four tickets to the December 28 Steelers-Browns game, Louis Vuitton and Gucci handbags, and a Hines Ward autographed Super Bowl XL jersey.
