ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – The Packers are honoring people who they feel have made a difference in their communities.
Ten volunteers were presented Friday with a ‘Packers Give Back Award,’ which comes with a $2,000 grant for their nonprofit organization.
Among them was Casa Alba Melanie’s Father Ken DeGroot.
“It means a lot to the organization. I feel sort of like the quarterback, like he’s the star, and all of my offensive line; try to open the holes or something which I feel the same way about the cooperation of so many people who are so interested in the welfare of the Hispanic people.”
Other recipients include Becky Finkel of St. Vincent de Paul in Appleton and DuWayne Wieck of the American Legion Post in Plymouth.
