Jordy Nelson Charity Softball Game presented by Kwik Trip returns in 2015
GRAND CHUTE, WI - Green Bay Packers Super Bowl Champion Jordy Nelson will host the annual Charity Softball Game at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium on Sunday, June 14, 2015. This will be the second year Nelson has been the host of the game between the offense and defense of the Green Bay Packers. Game time is 1:05pm.
"I am honored to host the Charity Softball Game again in 2015," said Nelson. "My family and I really enjoyed the experience last year, and we look forward to having fun with the fans again this year. I want to thank the fans for supporting this game and helping us to raise money for needed community programs."
Nelson is currently 2nd in the NFC in receiving yards, tied for 2nd in touchdowns by a receiver, and 4th in receptions.
"The Timber Rattlers are excited to have Jordy Nelson back as the host for this Charity Softball Game and we are proud to once again be the host facility," said Timber Rattlers president Rob Zerjav. "Jordy has solidified himself as a member of this community and we are excited to play a part in helping raise funds for local community programs."
The offense defeated the defense 26-11 in front of a crowd of 7,354 in the 2014 game. Nelson, who participated in the game when it was hosted by Donald Driver, hit a pair of home runs in last year's game.
