After raising more than $2,000 for charity in 2020, we’re excited to kick off this year’s charity drive with more options for giving and more chances to win prizes for your contributions.

This year, The Power Sweep is supporting two charities: the Adrian Amos I’m Still Here Foundation and the Shemar Jean-Charles Team for the 2021 Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

What charities are you supporting?

Amos launched his foundation in January of 2019 in honor of his grandmother, who passed away after dealing with complications from Alzheimer’s and dementia for nearly a decade. The foundation works to support Alzheimer’s awareness and research, and also supports families affected by the disease.

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the annual charity drive of the national Alzheimer’s Association. The Alzheimer’s Association works to advance care, support and research connected to Alzheimer’s disease across the world, and Jean-Charles is sponsoring a team specifically to support patients in Wisconsin.

How much should I donate?

We’re excited to be supporting such great causes, and we want everyone to participate at whatever amount they feel comfortable. Both charities accept donations in any denomination and from most countries, although there is an added benefit for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s from United States donors. If you donate at least $35, you will receive a Walk to End Alzheimer's blanket (50” x 60”) and Shemar Jean-Charles will donate a blanket to a resident at a senior care community in your honor.

if you choose to join us with a donation of any amount, you have a chance to win one of several prizes, all furnished by The Power Sweep. This year’s prizes include:

• The Green Bay Packers jersey of your choice (valued up to $125)

• One of two $50 gift cards for the Packers Pro Shop

• One of four $25 gift cards for the Packers Pro Shop

How can I participate?

Here’s how to donate:

1 - Head to the I’m Still Here donation page or the Shemar Jean-Charles Walk to End Alzheimer’s Team Page and donate whatever amount you feel led to contribute.

2 - Take a screenshot of your donation that includes your name and the amount you’ve donated.

3 - Send that screenshot to The Power Sweep in one of the two following ways:

• By tweeting to @ThePowerSweep on Twitter

• By emailing thepowersweep1959@gmail.com

If you submit your donation by December 31, you’ll be entered into our drawing. We’ll conduct the drawing on Monday, January 3 and announce the winners that week on Blue 58.

Thanks again for being willing to join us in this effort. We’ve already received several donations, and we hope we’ll get many more as we work to raise money for this great charity!
