Pro Football Retired Players Association Announced as Cheesehead TV's Exclusive Charity Partner for Month of November

ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pro Football Retired Players Association (PFRPA), a national organization that develops programs and benefits for retired NFL players, today announced that the organization has been chosen as the first, exclusive charity partner for Cheesehead TV (CHTV), a video, podcast and lifestyle platform dedicated to the Green Bay Packers.

Through the entire month of November, proceeds from every CHTV Watch Party and from their flagship podcast, Packer Transplants, will be donated to PFRPA's 501(c)(3) charitable foundation, the Greater Good Fund.

Cheesehead TV is known for its passionate community and entertaining take on Packers culture, often celebrating the unique identity of being a "Cheesehead," a term used for Packers fans.

Following his attendance at the inaugural PFRPA Champions Luncheon, held in Green Bay earlier this year, Cheesehead TV Co-Founder Corey Behnke expressed that PFRPA would be a deserving choice as Cheesehead TV's charity partner.

"Hearing stories first-hand from retired NFL players who gave so much to the game, including Hall of Famers like Dave Robinson, motivated me to extend PFRPA's message," Behnke said. "The work PFRPA does to preserve the legacy of retired NFL players is so important. I'm glad that we [Cheesehead TV] can play a part to broaden awareness and generate donations to support the great work the organization does."

PFRPA Executive Director Joe Agbasi expressed his gratitude to Cheesehead TV for naming PFRPA its charity partner, noting the selection and ensuing activities would be highly beneficial for the ongoing support of retired NFL players.

"We are grateful to be Cheesehead TV's first charity partner, as it affords a novel platform to showcase PFRPA and our efforts to support our members," Agbasi said. "Green Bay is very passionate about football. As one of the original NFL franchises, their fanbase values the contributions that generations of players have made to the game. We truly appreciate Cheesehead TV's support and alignment with PFRPA's mission to preserve the legacy of retired NFL players."

Donations to PFRPA, benefiting the Greater Good Fund, can be made during the CHTV Watch Parties via Cheesehead TV's YouTube channel. The broadcasts will be livestreamed during the following four Packers games:

• Week 9 vs. Detroit Lions on Sunday, November 3^rd;
