LUNCHEON HELD TODAY TO HONOR WINNERS FROM AROUND WISCONSIN
The Green Bay Packers Thursday named 10 2006 Community Quarterback Award winners and honored the recipients at a noon luncheon in the Legends Club inside the Lambeau Field Atrium.
The recipients, including two people awarded as co-recipients, were present at the event and recognized for their work in the community. Each Green Bay Packers Community Quarterback Award winner was presented with a $2,000 grant for his/her non-profit group.
Funded by the NFL, the Green Bay Packers Community Quarterback Award recognizes community volunteers who demonstrate leadership, dedication and a commitment to bettering their communities.
