Packers vs. Police Charity basketball game May 20, 2013
Flashbacks of watching Green Bay Packers riding Donkeys and playing basketball inn the Southwest High gym are filling my head right now. The donkeys are gone but the Packer players are back for a charity basketball game against members of the Green Bay Police force.
You can catch all the action of this fun-filled basketball game Monday, May 20th at Green Bay Southwest High. The school is located on Packerland Drive, of course! Tip off is 7:30 pm; doors open at 6:30 pm.
Tickets are free with a $10 suggested donation to the Green Bay Police Benevolent and Protective Association.
A difference this year is that the Green Bay Packers team will consist of former and not current players. Players will sign autographs during halftime.
Besides the basketball game, there will be lots of fun activities and giveaways provided by local retailers that have been coordinated by the sports marketing program at Southwest High School.
Proceeds from the basketball game go to The Green Bay Police Benevolent and Protective Association. It’s is a fraternal organization made of active and retired sworn law enforcement officers of the Green Bay Police Department. The organization was created to establish off duty activity and camaraderie within the police workforce and to promote charity and good will within the community.
Green Bay Packers Family Night August 3rd
Yay! Green Bay Packers Family Night has returned for another year. This year’s bash will be Saturday, August 3, 2013. Events kickoff at 5:30pm and conclude with an awesome fireworks show.
Do you all remember how these family nights started? The practice scrimmage drew such large crowds that they moved it from the practice field into Lambeau. That first year was ridiculously hot out–in the 90′s. Those of us that went melted!
So the Packers moved the scrum to the night and also added giveaways (the jerseys worn by players are given away) and fireworks.
I think that is what makes Packers Family Night so appealing. People who could never afford to take their whole family to a game can go to Family Night. For me, it’s a chance to sit in a different place than where our season tickets are located. Family Night always fall on or within a day or two of my son’s birthday. Easy birthday present!
Tickets go on sale June 24th; cost is $10 + $3 service charge per ticket. Parking is another $5; proceeds benefit the Wendys Wonderful Kids foster kids adoption program.
Can’t make it to the scrimmage? You can watch it live on WLUK-Fox 11.
