Four Green Bay Packers players, A.J. Dillon, Bo Melton, Quay Walker, and Evan Williams, recently gathered at Lambeau Field Atrium to make a significant impact on both fans and the community. By signing memorabilia, they not only created lasting memories for fans but also raised funds for the Salvation Army to support families in need during the holiday season.
Fans eagerly donated over $50 to have their favorite sports items signed by the players, knowing that every dollar would directly benefit the Salvation Army. The funds raised will help cover operational costs and ensure a brighter holiday season for families, seniors, and individuals in Green Bay and beyond.
Salvation Army Capt. Maj. Catherine Fitzgerald expressed her gratitude for the event’s impact, highlighting that nearly 8,000 children in the area would receive gifts this holiday season due to these donations. The event not only provided fans with the opportunity to meet their favorite athletes but also allowed them to make a meaningful contribution to the community, creating a win-win situation for everyone involved.
For families like Michelle Stevens and her sons Morgan and Mason, the event was an unforgettable experience. Michelle, a single mother, drove 45 minutes with her sons to attend after discovering the event on Facebook. Meeting NFL heroes in person left a profound impact on her boys, inspiring them to work hard and pursue their dreams.
Players like A.J. Dillon emphasized the importance of giving back to the community and connecting with fans who support them throughout the season. The event was a chance for Packers players to show their appreciation and spread holiday cheer to those in need.
This autograph event is part of the Packers’ ongoing commitment to the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign, with various players participating in similar events this holiday season. Fans will have additional opportunities to meet players and get memorabilia signed on Dec. 9 and Dec. 16, with all proceeds continuing to support the Salvation Army’s mission.
For fans and players alike, the event was about more than just autographs—it was about creating core memories and spreading holiday joy. The proceeds from the event will help provide food, shelter, and gifts for families in need, showcasing how generosity can make a profound difference during the holiday season.
By attending upcoming autograph events on Dec. 9 and Dec. 16, fans can continue to support the Salvation Army’s mission and make a positive impact on the community. Let’s come together to spread joy and hope this holiday season and make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
