2012 Green & Gold Gala Raises Record Proceeds for Local Youth

Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin, in partnership with the Green Bay Packers, held its 24th Annual Green & Gold Gala on the evening of Friday, September 7, 2012 at the Lambeau Field Atrium in Green Bay. This year’s event raised record proceeds of $125,290, which will be used to fund Family Services programs that keep homeless youth safe, provide a healing place for abused children, and help high-risk families with young children succeed.

 

470 guests attended the event, including 23 Packer greats - Lynn Dickey (76-85), David Whitehurst (77-83), Ezra Johnson (77-87) Jan Stenerud (80-83), and Gerry Ellis (80-86), to name a few. Guests enjoyed fine food, a silent and live auction, and raffles. A brief program featured the work and mission of Family Services, while also honoring Cellcom and Dr. Howard Davis for their contributions to kids and families in our communities. During the program, an agency video was also presented, depicting the impact Family Services makes in the lives of the kids and families in our communities.
