The limited edition bottles will also pay tribute to Steelers running back Jerome Bettis, who recently announced his retirement. Heinz will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the commemorative bottles to The Jerome Bettis Bus Stops Here Foundation, which attempts to improve the quality of life for troubled and underprivileged children.
