Pittsburgh Steeler player Troy Polamalu and his wife Theodora will host on Nov. 14 their second Polynesian Luau and are inviting the entire Pittsburgh community to join them at the Westin Convention Center in Pittsburgh.

The “Party with a Purpose” fundraising event will benefit positive change for American Samoa as well as for U.S. veterans.

The Polamalu Polynesian Luau aims to raise funds for the Troy & Theodora Polamalu Foundation Fund, which supports the Fa'a Samoa Initiative, Polamalu's academic, athletic and medical mission in American Samoa, according to a news release from the Polamalus.

The luau is also to raise funds for the Harry Panos Fund for Veterans, benefitting Operation Once in a Lifetime, an organization providing assistance for US Veterans as well as granting them once in a lifetime wishes.

“Theodora and I have been fortunate to be able to raise our charitable efforts to the next level with our series of luaus as well as other fundraising events so we can continue to support causes that are dear to our hearts,” says Steelers safety Polamalu. “Not only will this event benefit both my land of heritage, as well as US veterans, but it gives me the opportunity to share that heritage with the Pittsburgh community.”

“Theodora and I want to say talofa (welcome) to all our fans and supporters and invite everyone to join us and my fellow Steelers for an evening of great food, music and entertainment,” he said.

Guests to the luau can expect a spectacular Polynesian fire dance show, a spread of Polynesian-inspired food including a traditional roast pig, tropical cocktails from the Remy Martin sponsored open bar, and many wonderful auction items.

Not only will Troy and his fellow teammates be joining their guests on the dance floor, but one lucky guest will take home a special door prize: two tickets to a Steelers home game with an exclusive, personal meet & greet with Troy Polamalu after the game.

Tickets for the November 14 luau are currently for sale through the Troy and Theodora Foundation Fund's website at www.polamalufoundation.org

In addition to the luau, VIP guests will attend a one-hour private cocktail party with the Polamalus and Troy’s teammates before the event officially begins, and one lucky VIP guest will find two golden tickets in their door prize: two seats in the Polamalus' suite during a home game.

Last month the Polamalu foundation donated $10,000 to help victims of the severe storms and flooding that claimed one life and caused damage in excess of $5 million in American Samoa.

Founded in 2007 as a charitable donor fund at The Pittsburgh Foundation, The Troy and Theodora Foundation Fund is the primary philanthropic initiative of the Polamalu family. The fund exists to make lasting changes in the lives of children, families or individuals by responding to their immediate financial, healthcare, educational or spiritual needs, without discrimination and with Christian love and acceptance.

The Fa’a Samoa Initiative was developed by Troy Polamalu to implement positive change in American Samoa, the land of Troy’s heritage. What originally began as a football camp in 2011 has now grown to encompass a three-tiered program offering an academic division, athletic camp, and medical mission.

The initiative promotes healthy living, safe sportsmanship, and the importance of education in the island’s youth population, as well as addressing the current medical issues facing all of the American Samoan people.
