Donate to The Power Sweep's 2023 Charity Drive

Welcome to The Power Sweep’s 2023 Charity Drive! 

I’m excited to launch another round of fundraising for Packers-associated charities. This has become one of my favorite parts of this entire operation. It’s a great opportunity for the whole community associated with this endeavor to come together and do something cool.

And that’s exactly what you’ve done. Over our previous three charity drives, The Power Sweep’s readers and listeners have contributed more than $10,000 to charities run by Green Bay Packers players, fueling their efforts to give back to their communities.

Previously, donors have contributed to multiple Packers-related charities, but this year we’re narrowing the field to just one: Aaron Jones’ A&A All the Way Foundation.

Jones has been a bright light in Green Bay since he arrived in 2017, and his character both on and off the field has been exemplary. When he went down with an injury during the Packers’ win over the Chargers, it briefly looked like his time in Green Bay might be at an end. For me, at least, it brought the sudden realization that we won’t have him forever, and I want to recognize the great contributions he’s made to the Packers and the Green Bay community while he’s still here.

Jones runs the A&A All the Way Foundation with his twin brother, Alvin. According to the foundation’s website, its primary aims are to support recreation and fitness for children across the country, especially those from military families.

As usual, there will be prizes available for those who choose to participate. (More on that below.)

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?

To donate to this year’s charity drive, simply make a contribution to the A&A All the Way Foundation and take a screenshot confirming your donation. Email that confirmation to thepowersweep1959@gmail.com by December 31, 2023 and we’ll include you in the prize drawing for participants.

Where DO I DONATE?

HOW MUCH SHOULD I DONATE?

There’s no minimum donation, but we suggest a minimum donation of $10. There is no obligation to donate more than that. Any donation of any amount will make you eligible for prizes.

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:
