The Green Bay Packers and Humana Inc. honored 10 Community Quarterback Award winners Tuesday, Jan. 29, and hosted the recipients at a luncheon in the Legends Club inside the Lambeau Field Atrium.
The recipients were recognized for their work in the community. Each Community Quarterback Award winner received a $4,000 grant for his/her non-profit group, two tickets to the Dec. 23 Packers vs. Tennessee Titans game where they were recognized on the field and two pregame tailgate passes.
"These individuals stand as inspiring role models for all of us," said Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy. "The Green Bay Packers are honored to recognize their commitment to their communities and the dedication they demonstrate in their volunteer work."
