PITTSBURGH - What began as a light social media beef between a Pittsburgh Steelers receiver and a local sports radio host developed into a 'Reception Challenge' raising more than $6,000 for charity.
Ryan Switzer has pledged $40 per reception for Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and 7-year-old leukemia patient Darran Dunlap, the daughter of 93.7 The Fan host Colin Dunlap.
Here's how the 'Ryan Switzer Reception Challenge' started: Dunlap tweeted "Yikes" at the notion Switzer was a primary target on a last-minute play during the Week 11 win at Jacksonville. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw Switzer's way on an interception that was negated when Jacksonville was penalized for grabbing Switzer's facemask in the end zone.
