Dillon, Bo Melton, Quay Walker, and Evan Williams joined forces to sign memorabilia, bringing joy to attendees and raising funds for a worthy cause during the holiday season.
The event served as a win-win for both fans and the community, with eager supporters donating at least $50 to have their sports memorabilia signed by the players, knowing that every dollar went directly to the Salvation Army. The funds raised will help support families in Green Bay and beyond, ensuring a brighter holiday season for those in need.
