My Green Bay Packers


I love the Green Bay Packers, Even though they have lost two games this season and one of them was to the browns. ( that sucks ) By only two points but that was enough.

Green Bay are inspiring because the team have a wonderful heart.
When the Flooding happened in New Orleans This is what the Packers did to help:-

The Green Bay Packers may have just defeated the Tennessee Titans 21-17, but long snapper Rob Davis felt a lump in his heart. Worried about the devestation inflicted by Hurricane Katrina, he went through the locker room, looking for volunteers to aid the relief effort.“We just wanted to make sure we had a presence from the Packers,” Davis said. “We’re trying to help out as best as we can.”The Packers helped out indeed.In conjunction with the American Red Cross, several Packers players signed autographs on Sunday at Bay Park Square Mall in Green Bay, Wis., raising over $16,000 in just two hours to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina.Any monetary contribution entitled patrons to an autograph on one item. For a $100 donation, they could visit each of the three autograph tables. They were also encouraged to donate blood at the Red Cross blood drive in the mall.By 12:30p.m., Red Cross officials estimated 500 people had already arrived for autographs and the blood drive had a three-hour wait. “The crowd has blown me away,” said Steve Maricque, executive director of the American Red Cross’ Lakeland chapter. “

Doesn't that inspire you, That some guys from a team would give their time and money for others.

I also love the Packers Due to their support of breast cancer.

Brett Farve the Quarter back has set the team on a mission. His Wife has breast cancer and on a play off game last year he arrived with his hair all shaved off. When asked why he said It's to stand with my Wife and all women who have to go through this.
Ever since then The Green Bay Packers are supporting the Breast cancer foundation and are raising money for it .




Just think how humbling this is, a whole team goes out together to fight for things they believe in.
What do you fight for??.

I will support the Packers till the end.
Sam
