Defensive end Brett Keisel got to mix two of his favorite things, fishing and helping the kids at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, when he hosted a fishing event at Alpine Hunting and Fishing Club on Monday. 

Among those having the opportunity to fish with Keisel were patients from the hospital. Keisel hosts his annual Sheer ‘Da Beard event to benefit Children’s Hospital, is a frequent visitor there, and loved spending time with the kids.

“It’s very special,” said Keisel. “We tried to do something I love to do and a lot of other people love to do. We had some kids that usually wouldn’t have the opportunity to come out and go fishing for giant trout to my secret spot that I don’t just let anyone come to.
