The Green Bay Packers Foundation on Tuesday awarded $800,000 to 316 civic and charitable groups throughout the state of Wisconsin in its annual distribution of grants. Terry Fulwiler, chairperson of the Foundation, made the announcement. Overall, including a recent $250,000 impact grant awarded to the Jackie Nitschke Center and a $250,000 impact grant to the St. Norbert College, $1.3 million was awarded through Foundation grants this year.
The total donation amount surpassed the Foundation’s donation record, and the number of recipient organizations is also a record for the Foundation.
The groups were guests at a luncheon in the Lambeau Field Atrium, an event that welcomed all the recipients and honored the outstanding efforts and services performed by each of the organizations.
