Steelers Now
A Go Fund Me fundraiser has been established for the Acrisure Stadium worker who fell from the scoreboard before the Pittsburgh Steelers game against the Green Bay Packers last weekend.
Keith Keller was installing a remote camera system on Saturday night, in between Pitt and Steelers games at Acrisure Stadium when he fell 50 feet from the top of the scoreboard. He was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
Keller, an Illinois native hired as a contract to help set up for Sunday Night Football, has improved in his condition and has a good-long term prognosis, family friend Bill Brennan wrote at Go Fund Me, but suffered a lacerated liver, spleen and broken legs in the fall:
“Hi, my name is Bill Brennan, and on behalf of a large group of family, friends, and coworkers I’m reaching out to ask for your kindness and support for our dear friend, Keith Keller, who was recently involved in a serious accident on Saturday October 25th in Pittsburgh. While working in Pittsburgh, he sustained multiple traumatic injuries from a fall while setting up a remote camera system: a lacerated liver, spleen, and shattered both of his legs. While his long-term prognosis is good, he has a very long recovery ahead of him. If you know Keith and his wife Stephenie you know what great people they are and would be the first in line to help a friend in the same situation.
“As you can imagine, the medical expenses and related costs are overwhelming. Even with insurance, there are significant out-of-pocket expenses for treatments, medications, and rehabilitation. Our goal is to raise $50.000 to help relieve some of this financial burden and allow Keith to focus fully on healing.”
As of noon on Wednesday, the fundraiser had raised over $125,000.
