NGT: Getting in touch with an NFL team

McNally's_Nuts : 12/17/2018 11:06 am
Not a Giants topic, but I would really like assistance in getting in touch with the Steelers.

My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer a few weeks ago and it's not looking great at the moment.

She's a huge Steelers fan and I'd like to get in touch with them to see if they will do anything kind, etc.

I know the Giants have for people. I'm assuming that a letter would work best, but truthfully I'm not really sure how much time we have left.

Hoping someone maybe Eric can point me in the right direction.

Thanks.
Not sure how

but so sorry for your mother.
Honestly I would reach out to Pat Hanlon....  
Britt in VA : 12/17/2018 11:07 am : link
and see if he can put you in touch with the Steelers PR guy, which I bet you he would.

You can try him on Twitter, or see if Eric can reach out for you.

Sorry about your Mom, best of luck to her.
Burt Lauten

is the director of communications (i.e. like Pat Hanlon), you could start there. His twitter is steelersPRBurt.
The Steelers..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 12/17/2018 11:11 am : link
PR guy is Burt Lauten (at least it was recently).

His email is lautenb@steelers.nfl.com if they use the same designation as most teams of last name first initial, team and nfl.com.

He's the Director of Communications, so he can either help you or assist.

And good luck to your Mom
All the best to your mom.

Never easy
That email is correct as far as I can tell  
Remdad : 12/17/2018 11:18 am : link
If you Google it, you get a Steelers media information sheet from the 2017 AFC championship game with that address
I was able to  
McNally's_Nuts : 12/17/2018 11:22 am : link
google his e-mail address.

I sent him an e-mail at 11:16.

There was a reply at 11:19.

I am floored.

I am floored at this. I never thought that anyone would read that e-mail.

Soft spot for that organization right now.
Good luck to your mother, never easy

Amazing job by these PR guys. This may have swayed my afc rooting interest.
The PR guys..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 12/17/2018 11:48 am : link
are really responsive.

Pat Hanlon has helped out a lot of people from requests made.

There have people that coordinate hospital visits, team events, school events all the time. All the NFL teams I've dealt with are excellent in this regard.

Very cool that the steelers are doing something.
I will  
McNally's_Nuts : 12/17/2018 11:49 am : link
root for the Steelers as long as they aren't playing the Giants.

This is amazing.
sorry for your mom  
upstatenyg : 12/17/2018 12:47 pm : link
but great that bbi could help.

most teams have someone in community relations, etc who can help with this type of stuff, great that they got right back to you.
I'm  
dorgan : 12/17/2018 1:29 pm : link
not surprised. They're a quality organization. The Giants have also been very responsive to several people that I know of, including me.

They are as classy as the Giants organization. Had a friend who was a Giants/ Steelers fan who died a few years ago in Binghamton. We ran a fundraiser for him and the Steelers sent so much stuff that we could auction and raffle off I could not believe it.
