Packers face off against an old foe: cancer

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - For the fifth year in a row, the Green Bay Packers are teaming up with other organizations in the area to raise awareness -- and funds -- in the fight against cancer.

The Packers kicked off the campaign this week by debuting new caps at the Packers Pro Shop. Five dollars from the sale of each cap goes directly to the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation to help with research and cancer care, including screenings.

One Bellin Health doctor said he’s seen fewer people getting screenings during the pandemic. “While cancer screenings have always been critical, but it is of most importance right now just because with the COVID going on many people have put off their cancer screenings since early last year.
