Thank you, Zaire! 💛💚🏈
Last night, Green Bay Club members had the chance to meet Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin as he announced his Tackles for Literacy Campaign. A Boys & Girls Club alum, Zaire focuses on giving back to the Clubs in communities that he plays in. This season, he has committed to donating $44 (his number) for every tackle he makes to literacy programs at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Green Bay.
To celebrate, members from both Green Bay Clubhouses enjoyed a pizza party, asked Zaire many questions, gathered for a story time, and had the opportunity to get items signed! During his question-and-answer time, Zaire mentioned the importance of literacy, even in sports. He told our members that to make it to the NFL, he had to not only work hard in his sport but also work hard in school to have the opportunity to play in college and get drafted into the professional league. We are so grateful for Zaire's support of local youth.
As Club members keep working hard this football season to bank up reading minutes and unlock fun rewards, you can support them alongside Zaire Franklin! Consider matching a portion of his $44 donations to support literacy growth, even outside of the classroom, in Green Bay students.
Thank you to Shelice's Angels Foundation, Packer Fastener, Pella Windows and Doors, and Pep's Pizza Co. for their partnership in sponsoring and matching the Tackles for Literacy Campaign.
