No	Item	Donor	Winner
1.	American Football branded with Pittsburg Steelers logo and signed by The US Ambassador to Ireland, H.E. Mr Daniel Rooney.	US Ambassador to Ireland, H.E. Mr Daniel Rooney American football is a unique sport -- it is a game about gaining territory as much as it is about scoring points. When two teams step onto a football field, each is battling for every inch it can take from the other. Each team wants to defend the field that is behind it and invade the field in front of it. Ultimately, they want to gain enough ground to score a touchdown or field goal.
