Jordy Nelson Charity Softball Game to be held Sunday, June 8, 2014
GRAND CHUTE, WI - Green Bay Packers Super Bowl Champion Jordy Nelson will host the annual Charity Softball Game at Fox Cities Stadium on Sunday, June 8. The offense and defense of the Green Bay Packers face each other starting at 1:05pm. Nelson is currently tied for 3rd in the NFC in touchdowns and 5th in the NFC for total yards for wide receivers.
Nelson has played numerous times in this Charity Softball Game, and he is excited to host the game this year. "It will be an honor to host the annual Charity Softball Game this year. I hope that the fans, my teammates and the Packers organization will continue to support this amazing community event that helps so many charitable causes. Everyone will see a great show this year, and of course, a victory for the offense!"
"We are extremely happy to have Jordy on board for this event and, at the same time, want to thank Donald for all of his time and support over the past six years," Timber Rattlers president Rob Zerjav said. "This charity softball event is great for our community and we look forward to another sold out game."
A record crowd of 9,010 were in attendance for the 2013 game - hosted by Donald Driver - that featured a 24-20 victory by the defense.
"Jordy Nelson is a great player and friend," said Driver. "I am excited that he will be hosting the game this year. I want to thank all of the fans for their amazing support during the six years I hosted the game. Thank you to the Timber Rattlers and Packers organizations for supporting the game."
