Excerpt:
Former Pitt wide receiver Dontez Ford hopes to keep alive his dream of playing in the NFL this weekend when teams stock their rosters with young players fresh from college. Meanwhile, he continues his quest for an MBA in Pitt's Katz Graduate School of Business. Those are admirable pursuits, but football and academics are only part of Ford's story. For the second year in row, Ford and Pitt classmates Craig Bittner and Jim Fanning are raising money to help the Sto-Rox School District obtain desperately needed resources. This year's goal: A cart full of Google Chromebooks.......“I grew up learning that whenever you're able to make a difference in someone's life that's what you do,” Ford said. “It's hard-wired into our minds: You do good for people and you don't have to expect anything in return.”
