The community supported the team in times of need by "passing the hat" at games and by buying stock in 1923, 1935, 1950 and 1997, among other ways. To give back to the community, the team created the Green Bay Packers Foundation in December 1986. The Foundation assists in a wide variety of activities and programs that benefit education, civic affairs, health services, human services and youth-related programs. |
