A limited number of tickets remain available for the Green Bay Packers Tailgate Tour visit in Beloit on Wednesday, April 10, which will raise funds for NeighborWorks Blackhawk Region in Beloit.
The fundraising event will be hosted at the Eclipse Center, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and will include food, activities, a live auction and a Q&A session with the Packers. General admission tickets are $75 and limited to the first 300 fans. For more information about the event and to purchase tickets, visit nwblackhawkregion.org/gbp-tour/.
The proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit NeighborWorks Blackhawk Region in Beloit, a nonprofit that helps promote and preserve home ownership and helps those in need gain access to housing resources. They also build and renovate homes, offer down payment assistance, provide foreclosure assistance and counsel new homeowners.
As a reminder to fans, this year's fan-favorite Tailgate Tour will return in the same "road trip" format as last year, stopping at a variety of locations and appearing at nonprofit fundraising events each day. To allow for further opportunities for players and alumni to interact with more fans while raising money for the nonprofits, fans should note that there will once again be no formal autograph sessions.
The annual 'Packers Tailgate Tour,' set for April 9-13, will travel from Green Bay to Southern Wisconsin to visit with fans and thank them in person for their support, stopping in Kenosha on April 9, Beloit on April 10, Platteville on April 11 and Sun Prairie on April 12 before returning to Green Bay on April 13, with a variety of surprise and planned visits to be held in each area.
The event will feature current and alumni Packers players, with current players Elgton Jenkins, Kenny Clark and Rasheed Walker and alumni players Bryan Bulaga, Mike Daniels and Alex Green scheduled to board the bus, along with Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy.
