Coach of the Week
The Green Bay Packers Coach of the Week program, presented by the Wisconsin National Guard, supports youth football efforts by giving high school coaches the recognition they deserve. On a weekly basis, for ten weeks throughout the high school football season, the Green Bay Packers will select one high school coach as the Coach of the Week. Each honoree will be awarded several items and privileges, including a $2,000 donation to the school's football program on behalf of the Green Bay Packers and the Wisconsin National Guard, as well as recognition of the award in one of the Packers Game Day programs.
