PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - Since arriving in Pittsburgh, Steelers wide receiver Ryan Switzer has donated his time and money to Children’s Hospital, especially those young children affected by cancer.

On the Fan Morning Show Tuesday, Switzer talked about his new “Switzburgh” clothing line, with 100 percent of his proceeds going to the oncology department at Children’s.

“I don’t need the income, I don’t need the shares from this,” said Switzer. “I wanted to find someone who did and obviously I’ve been doing the thing with Children’s in the past . . .I thought this would be another cool way like I said last week to get people to donate to the kids as well as support me and the team moving forward.” 

You can preorder the “Switzburgh” shirts here.

I’m incredibly excited to announce that I’ve partnered with @Represent to get you all custom “Ryan Switzer apparel” including shirts, sweatshirts, etc. I’m also proud to say that 100% of my shares from this apparel will go directly to the oncology program @ChildrensPgh! pic.twitter.com/vKNfA6sqMy

Switzer says he didn’t come up with the phrase and that “it’s a little corny but people seem to like it.”

In addition to the shirts, Switzer also visits young cancer patients at Children’s every Friday during the season and will begin the second year of his reception challenge that will raise money for the oncology department.
