Four Green Bay Packers players recently came together at Lambeau Field Atrium for a heartwarming event benefiting both fans and their local community. A.J. Dillon, Bo Melton, Quay Walker, and Evan Williams graciously took the time to sign memorabilia, creating unforgettable moments for fans while raising funds for the Salvation Army. The event not only brought joy to attendees but also supported families, seniors, and individuals in need during the holiday season.
Fans eagerly donated at least $50 for the chance to have their favorite sports memorabilia signed by Packers players, knowing that every dollar would directly benefit the Salvation Army. The funds raised will help support local families in Green Bay and beyond, covering operational costs and ensuring a brighter holiday season for those in need.
Salvation Army Capt. Maj. Catherine Fitzgerald expressed her gratitude for the impact of the event, sharing that nearly 8,000 children in the area will receive gifts this holiday season thanks to these generous donations.
For Michelle Stevens and her two sons, the event was an unmissable opportunity. The family traveled 45 minutes from Two Rivers to Green Bay after Michelle discovered the event on Facebook. Michelle, a single mother raising two young football players, highlighted the significance of her sons meeting their NFL heroes in person, inspiring them to dream big and work hard to achieve their goals.
Packers players saw the event as a chance to connect with fans and show their appreciation for the support they receive throughout the season. A.J. Dillon, a familiar face at Salvation Army events, emphasized the importance of making fans smile and giving back to the community simultaneously.
The autograph event is part of the Packers’ ongoing dedication to supporting the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign, focusing on assisting families, seniors, and unhoused individuals in the Green Bay area. In addition to the players who participated in the recent event, other Packers stars have also joined in similar events this holiday season to support the cause.
Fans who missed the recent event will have two more opportunities to meet Packers players and get memorabilia signed on December 9th and 16th, with all proceeds continuing to support the Salvation Army.
For fans like Michelle Stevens and her sons, the event was more than just collecting autographs—it was a treasured experience that will stay with them for years. The event offered Packers players a unique opportunity to give back to the community that passionately supports them, especially during the holiday season.
The proceeds from the event will aid the Salvation Army in providing food, shelter, and gifts for families in need during the holiday season. Through their combined efforts, Packers players, fans, and the Salvation Army are spreading joy and hope during this special time of year.
If you’re a football enthusiast looking to give back, mark your calendar for the upcoming autograph events on December 9th and 16th. Together, we can continue to make a difference and brighten the holiday season for those who need it most.
