Former Cal star and current Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is giving back to his home town of Chico, Calif., and the Butte County Area during the financial hardships endured during the pandemic.
Rodgers donated $1 million to help 80 small, locally owned businesses in his hometown of Chico and surrounding areas, according to a story posted by the Packers on their website.
You may recall that Rodgers attended Pleasant Valley High School in Chico, and when he got no scholarship offers from Division I colleges he played a season at Butte (Community) College.
