Softball, anyone?

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver to host charitable softball game on June 14 at Fox Cities Stadium in Grand Chute

WOO and may I add HOO!
In a joint announcement with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, Driver revealed on Monday his plans to host his charitable softball game for the second straight year.

The popular contest, which pits Packers offensive players against the defense, will be staged on June 14 at Fox Cities Stadium.

“Guys get the opportunity to mingle with the fans that you don’t get to have on Sundays,” the 33-year-old Driver said during a news conference at the ballpark. “And I think that’s the thing I’ve always cherished about it, how much guys go out and support the fans and interact with the fans.

“The guys don’t even care about the game too much. They’re always by the fence signing autographs and doing this and doing that. The fans get the opportunity to see us first hand.”

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Donald Driver Foundation, which assists homeless families and tackles issues surrounding the lack of educational opportunities in communities in Wisconsin, Texas and Mississippi.

Driver, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, said last year’s game, which drew 5,366 fans, raised over $125,000 for his foundation.
Ticket information? Yep, I've got that
Tickets: $30 per box seat, $20 per reserved seat, $10 per general admission grass seat. Tickets go on sale March 13 at 10 a.m.
Those tickets will be on sale at the Timber Rattler box office, over the phone, and on the internet at that time.
