Donate to The Power Sweep's 2022 Charity Drive

Welcome to The Power Sweep’s 2022 Charity Drive! 

We’re excited to raise money for some great charities this season, and we’re also excited to have you along for the ride. In 2021, we ended up doing two charity drives. In the first, listeners donated more than $2,700 to causes supported by Packers players Adrian Amos and Shemar Jean-Charles. In the second (which was powered by an anonymous listener’s donation of two Packers playoff tickets), listeners contributed more than $3,500 to Aaron Jones’ charity.

In total, our readers donated more than $6,300 to these charities, and it’s our hope that we can approach that number again.

This year we are supporting four charitable efforts. Adrian Amos’ I’m Still Here Foundation returns to the lineup again, as does Aaron Jones’ A&A All the Way Foundation. We’ll also be supporting Shemar Jean-Charles’ work with the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

In addition, Pat O’Donnell has partnered with the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation to raise funds for cancer research, so we’re adding that effort to our roster for this season.

How do I participate?

To donate in our charity drive, simply make a contribution to the charity of your choice and take a screenshot confirming your donation. Email that confirmation to thepowersweep1959@gmail.com by December 31, 2022 and we’ll include you in the prize drawing for participants. (More details on that in a second.)

How do I donate?

Here are the donation links for each of the charities:

How much should I donate?

There’s no minimum donation, but given the prizes we’re going to be drawing for this year, we suggest a minimum donation of $10. There is no obligation to donate more than that.

We should also note that there are significant prizes attached to Pat O’Donnell’s fundraiser that are entirely independent of The Power Sweep’s efforts. To be eligible for those prizes, you need to donate at least $10. There is also a bonus prize for the O’Donnell fundraiser that requires you to donate before December 12.

Okay, so what’s the deal with these prizes?

If you give to our charities, we want to give back to you. We have 25 prizes to give to randomly selected participants in our charity drive. Here’s what’s up for grabs:

  • Two Packers jerseys (valued at up to $125)

  • Four $50 gift certificates to the Packers Pro Shop

  • Four $25 gift certificates to the Packers Pro Shop

  • Five T-shirts from The Power Sweep

  • 10 sticker packages from The Power Sweep

Anything else I should know?

That’s it! Participation is by no means mandatory, but we’d love for you to join us. Get those donations in by December 31, and you’ll be a part of our charity effort! No matter what you contribute, we’re glad to have you as a part of our team.
