It's been tradition dating back to the Lombardi era that several members of the Packers take part in charity basketball games during the offseason.
Tuckner followed that information up by saying tickets are $5, players will be signing autographs at halftime and proceeds will go to the Green Bay Police Benevolent Association.

I am glad to hear that the Packers still play the charity basketball games. The "Lombardi Era" Packers came to north central Indiana back in the very late 60's for a charity game, and my father took me to it. That was the beginning of my love for everything "Packer"! I still have the
game program (with Ray Nitchke's autograph) framed and hanging in my man-cave.
