Strong relationships are important for everyone, but especially for young people. Student athletes have a unique opportunity to offer mentoring support to their peers to help them learn and grow -- on and off the field! The Pittsburgh Steelers and The Mentoring Partnership are teaming up with Giant Eagle to present the Jerome Bettis Leadership Award to 7 high school girls flag football players from around the region who go above and beyond to provide mentor-like support to their teammates. Winners will attend an exclusive event with Steelers players and they'll receive a $1,000 donation to their school’s athletic program!

Nominations only need to be submitted once to be considered over the course of the 7-week entry period.
