The Green Bay Packers and American Family Insurance on Wednesday celebrated the official opening of the American Family Insurance DreamDrive training camp activity, marking its 13th anniversary.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place Wednesday morning to recognize DreamDrive, the specially designed bike experience for Packers fans and families at training camp, centered on the storied training camp tradition where Packers players ride children's bikes to and from practice.
Five Dream Fleet bikes, which each celebrate a different piece of Wisconsin's rich heritage, were introduced for another year at the ribbon-cutting, all provided by the Packers and American Family Insurance.
Several kids were selected by American Family Insurance to have the opportunity to ride the special bikes to practice with the players. The kids had the opportunity to meet current players and received a Packers/American Family Insurance bike helmet autographed by the player who drove their bike down to practice. This year, American Family Insurance invited former patients from the American Family Children's Hospital to participate on select practice days throughout Training Camp.
Children are encouraged to participate in DreamDrive throughout training camp's open practices over the next several weeks by bringing their own bikes to practice in keeping with the longstanding tradition.
DreamDrive is a feature of the partnership between the Packers and the Madison-based insurance company, which has been a partner of the team since 2005. The partnership also includes the American Family Insurance Gate on the stadium's east side, allowing fans easy access to the Lambeau Field Atrium, as well as Titletown Gameday Live, presented by American Family Insurance, which invites fans to celebrate gamedays prior to kickoff at Titletown across the street from Lambeau Field.
