GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Brown County and the Green Bay Packers are teaming up to help Northeast Wisconsin Technical College.
The partnership will establish an endowment at NWTC to help at-risk youth in the area.
They’ll start raising money at this year’s Brown County Children’s Charity Golf Classic, which is scheduled for September 2021.
“There is a significant need to address equity access to higher education in Brown County and our partners are taking necessary steps to increase opportunities for youth,” says Brown County Executive Troy Streckenbach in a press release. “Through Brown County’s human services divisions, we witness that children who struggle often times go down the wrong path. We hope to provide an avenue to quality, post-secondary education to enrich their lives while improving diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.”
They have a goal of raising one-million dollars for the endowment.
Mark Murphy, President and CEO of the Green Bay Packers added “As a long-standing partner of this program, the Packers are proud to see this event establish a goal that will result in life-changing paths for our community’s young adults. I encourage our local businesses become a partner with Brown County and the Packers and join us in supporting this crucial cause to serve our community’s next generation.”
More than $400,000 has been raised by the Brown County Children’s Charity Golf Classic for NWTC to date, the school says.
