A local youth football program is one of 20 from around Wisconsin to receive a $1,000 grant from the Green Bay Packers.
Wittenberg-Birnamwood Area Youth Football recently received a Packers Youth Football Matching Grant, which supports equipment purchases, new uniforms and football facility improvements.
All youth football programs in Wisconsin — flag and tackle — were eligible to apply for a grant. Each program was required to raise $1,000 to secure the grant.
The Packers Youth Football Matching Grant program is part of Green Bay Packers Give Back, the organization’s all-encompassing community outreach initiative. Packers Give Back includes appearances by players, alumni, coaches and staff; monetary and in-kind donations; community events; Make-A-Wish visits; football outreach; and more. These efforts contribute to an annual charity impact in excess of $15 million.
