Adams & Martinez Announce Charities to Benefit from the Green & Gold Charity Softball Game

GRAND CHUTE, WI - Davante Adams and Blake Martinez have announced that Make-A-Wish Wisconsin, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, and a number of youth sports organizations will be the beneficiaries of the 2019 Green & Gold Charity Softball Game presented by Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic.

The game will be held on Saturday, June 1 at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium. Game time is scheduled for 12:05pm. Individual tickets for the game are on sale now through the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers ticket office and the team's website. 

"During my time in Green Bay, I've seen the positive impact Feeding America has in our community," said Adams. "I'm excited that this game can help give back to them and continue to help those in need"
Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin is the largest hunger-relief organization in the state, operating food banks in Milwaukee and Appleton. The food bank distributes more than 27 million pounds of healthy and nutritious food to pantries across 36 eastern Wisconsin counties. Driven by a mission to solve hunger, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin works with member organizations to provide meals to 400,000 people in the local community each year.
"I have seen firsthand what terminal illnesses can do to kids. Having an organization like Make-A-Wish there to bring a smile to a kids face is really special," said Martinez. "I'm glad that our game will help Make-A-Wish and let them help more kids out there"
Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Since the Wisconsin chapter was founded in 1984, more than 6,700 Wisconsin families have experienced the power of a wish, resulting for many in a turning point in the fight against their illnesses. In 2018, the Wisconsin chapter granted 402 wishes, more than ever before in the state. Currently, more than 350 Wisconsin children are in the process of having their life-affirming wishes granted. According to a recent wish impact study, a Make-A-Wish experience leads to increased emotional and physical health for wish children.

"We are thrilled to partner with the Green and Gold charity softball game and showcase the powerful partnership between Packers players, the Timber Rattlers and Lammi Sports Management who all work together to make wishes come true for wish kids living with critical illnesses," said Patti Gorsky, President & CEO of Make-A-Wish Wisconsin.
