GREEN BAY—The Johnsonville Tailgate Village buzzed with the sound of volunteers hard at work. The work—filling packages with diapers, toys, hand-sewn onesies and so much more for expectant military families with a deployed parent.


For the ninth year, “Ladies of Lambeau,” an inclusive group of women connected to the Packers organization, gathered to make a difference in the community.


Led by Laurie Murphy, wife of Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy, the “Ladies of Lambeau” assembled 200 care packages for 196 moms-to-be. Disposable diapers were also collected and donated to Paul’s Pantry for those in need.


“I just want to thank all of the volunteers, we’ve had so many volunteers over the years,” Laurie Murphy said. “Everyone here has some contribution to the Packers and it’s so much fun…we’re all so blessed.”


Membership of “Ladies of Lambeau” is wide-ranging—participants include employees and spouses of players, coaches and board members.


“Everyone is together, we get to partake in a wonderful charity, and afterwards it’s like fellowship,” said Diana Ball, wife of Packers executive vice president/director of football operations Russ Ball. “The ladies really like it because it gives you a way to give back to the community.”
