We here at Cheesehead TV are incredibly proud to announce that the Pro Football Retired Player Association has been chosen as our first ever exclusive charity partner.

Through the entire month of November, proceeds from every CHTV Watch Party and episode of Packer Transplants will be donated to PFRPA’s 501(c)(3) charitable foundation, the Greater Good Fund.

Following his attendance at the inaugural PFRPA Champions Luncheon, held in Green Bay earlier this year, Corey wanted to explore the possibility of making the PFRPA Cheesehead TV’s first ever charity partner.

From the PFRPA press release: 

“Hearing stories first-hand from retired NFL players who gave so much to the game, including Hall of Famers like Dave Robinson motivated me to extend PFRPA’s message,” Behnke said. “The work PFRPA does to preserve the legacy of retired NFL players is so important. I’m glad that we can play a part to broaden awareness and generate donations to support the great work the organization does.”

The PFRPA is a champion for retired NFL players. Their efforts are focused on bettering the lives of those who gave so much to the game. After hanging up their cleats, life after football varies for every player. The PFRPA and Cheesehead TV strongly believe that each player, no matter what their position or how long they played, should receive some level of support.

In April 2016, PFRPA began its work to develop health, welfare and educational programs for retired NFL players. Through the Greater Good Fund, they are able to provide and research high-quality programs, resources and services for retired NFL players.

You can learn more about the programs offered by PFRPA right here. 

Donations to PFRPA, benefiting the Greater Good Fund, can be made during our Watch Parties of the following four games:

Week 9 vs. Detroit Lions on Sunday, November 3rd ;

Week 11 @ Chicago Bears on Sunday, November 17th ;

Week 12 vs. San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, November 24th

Week 13 vs. Miami Dolphins on Thursday, November 28th

Fans can also donate directly to the Greater Good Fund right here. 

The Football Greats Alliance, PFRPA’s licensing agency, develops partnerships to drive meaningful revenue for retired NFL players and provide revenue for the Greater Good Fund to support all retired players. To date, more than 10,200 retired players and more than 3,500 players’ spouses have enrolled in PFRPA insurance benefits. For more information about PFRPA, visit their website.
