GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The Green Bay Packers Foundation distributed a record $1.25 million in grants to Wisconsin organizations this year.
The organization honored the efforts of its 243 grants recipients at a luncheon Thursday.
Of its donations, 17 of those grants — totaling $99,500 — remained in Brown County. Many others remained in other Northeast Wisconsin counties as well.
Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy expressed his gratitude during Thursday’s event in the Lambeau Field Atrium.
“We are honored to recognize and support the outstanding recipient organizations. We are grateful for their dedication to our communities and the incredibly impactful work they do to serve others.”
Nearly half of the grants were dedicated to health and wellness initiatives this year. Drug/alcohol abuse and violence groups also received a large portion of the grants.
