Super Bowl Champ Aaron Donald Makes Large Donation To Pitt

PITTSBURGH, PA — Winning the Super Bowl this month hasn't prompted Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald from forgetting about his hometown.

Donald, who attended Penn Hills High School and played college football at the University of Pittsburgh before becoming one of the NFL's most dominant defensive linemen, has donated $200,000 to the Pitt Football Championship Fund.

Pitt said the generous contribution will assist the football program “with vital facility enhancements, recruiting, team functions, and the success of our student-athletes on the field and in the classroom.”

In 2019, Donald made a seven-figure contribution to the fund. At the time, Pitt said that Donald, who then was 27, was the youngest person ever to make a seven-figure donation to the university.
