Aaron Donald is living it up as a Super Bowl champion after winning his first ring with the Rams last Sunday, celebrating the team’s title at the parade, the Lakers game and on late-night TV. He’s also giving back to his alma mater by making a huge donation to the Pitt Football Championship Fund.
The Panthers football program announced that Donald has donated $200,000 to the Championship Fund. It will help with recruiting, improve the team’s facility and also benefit team functions, helping student-athletes in several ways.
The donation comes on Pitt Day of Giving, with 86 supporters making contributions to the fund already.
THANK YOU, Aaron Donald 🐐

This isn’t the first time Donald has given back to Pitt, either. He made a seven-figure donation to the school in 2019 and had a performance center named after him, being recognized as one of the best players to ever go through the Pitt program.
Donald played at the University of Pittsburgh from 2010-2013 and won ACC Defensive Player of the Year in his final season at the school.
