Poll: What's Your 'Dancing With the Stars' Involvement?

Are you one of the people who helped Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver reach the finals on the popular TV show?

Don’t underestimate this Packers wide receiver's ability. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to Green Bay Packers fans that Donald Driver has the moves. We’ve all seen him wiggle his bum on national TV after a good play. And for the past few months, Packers fans have watched him excel on Dancing With the Stars. Driver needed a miracle to stay alive this week to make it to the show’s finale, wrote the Washington Post. He got that miracle Tuesday night. Is it bad to admit I have yet to see an episode of Dancing With the Stars? I’m not a big TV person and I watch stuff when I get to it. But I’ve seen fans on Donald Driver’s Facebook page cheering him on and talking about voting for him. It makes me curious – what’s your involvement in helping …

Hundreds Visit Packers Kuhn, Donate Food to Hunger Task Force

Packers fullback John Kuhn signed autographs Tuesday at AT&T store in Brookfield for fans who donated food to Milwaukee Hunger Task Force.

Lining up three hours before the event, fans brought a plethora of items for Packers fullback John Kuhn to sign as they filled two food donation boxes for charity. Hundreds of people wrapped around the shopping center with the AT&T store at 3825 N. 124th St. to see No. 30, known affectionately as "Kuuuuuuuuhhhhhnnnn!" Once inside, fans stuffed two canned and non-perishable goods into tall boxes for the Hunger Task Force. Colleen Rogers of Brookfield said she waited for about 45 minutes to get in, but that was a snap compared to the more than two hours she waited to see Donald Driver, who was autographing his latest book a few blocks away at Goodwill in Wauwatosa. (Driver also was in Waukesha.) "I already have his other three books and I …

Green Bay Packers wide receiver signs copies of his new book at Goodwill.

Two days after Donald Driver, a long-time wide receiver of the Green Bay Packers, scored two touchdowns on throws from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, he was scoring big with his fans at Waukesha Goodwill. Already having signed books for about 600 people in Wauwatosa earlier Tuesday, No. 80 was at the Goodwill on Meadow Lane signing for another 600 fans. “I’ve always realized if you give back to the community, it always gives back to you,” said Driver, a Goodwill spokesman for about nine years. The proceeds of his newest book, Quickie Goes to the Big Game, benefit Goodwill Industries and the Donald Driver Foundation. The third in his series of books, Driver said his books are meant to inspire young children to achieve what they want. “Don’t let…

Donald Driver Honors Dedicated United Way of Waukesha County Donors

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver speaks to crowd during Monday night's Champions in Giving.

The shouts of “Go Pack, Go” resonated throughout the crowd as No. 80 himself moved toward the crowd at a garden party on a lake in Waukesha County. Despite Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver being a guest speaker Monday night during Champions in Giving, the true stars of the night were the more than 200 supporters of the United Way of Waukesha County, who attended the event. More than 493 people regularly give $1,000 or more to the non-profit organization each year, and a special night was held in their honor. "This is a recognition for all those givers, from $1,000 all the way up,” said Michelle DuBord, director of investor relations & communications at United Way of Waukesha County. The local chapter of United Way has set a …

Packers' Driver Entertains Fans While Signing at Waukesha Sportscards

Offensive tackle Mark Tauscher also appeared at Waukesha business Saturday afternoon.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver wasn’t catching footballs Saturday afternoon, but he was catching smiles from all his fans gathered at Waukesha Sportscards for a public autograph signing session. Whether it was jokes about a bobble head having nearly the size of Driver’s head or shaking hands with his fans, the Super Bowl XLV champion kept a smile on his face. Driver's autograph signing was popular with Packers' fans in Waukesha. The line wrapped outside the door as people waited to get a glimpse of the reliable receiver. Even a white dog wanted to see Driver – the dog got away from his owner and snuck into the store shortly before Driver arrived. Driver will be at the Fox Cities Stadium on Sunday for the third annual Donald …
