You can make history around Lambeau Field this spring while giving back to the community thanks to an initiative by Sturgeon Bay native artist Zane Statz.  With the NFL Draft scheduled for Green Bay in late April, Statz, a 2010 graduate of Sturgeon Bay High School, will be transforming the Packers Community Fence on Lambeau Field into a mural of 100 NFL fan portraits.  Statz, along with fellow artist Craig Nordeen, will draw and paint illustrations of fans that will remain on display through the middle of August.  Zane says each portrait is purchased at $1,000 with all proceeds benefiting three Green Bay charities, GRIT920, Freedom House, and 23’s Cause 4 Cleats.

Statz notes that the aim is to raise $100,000 for charity while giving NFL fans the opportunity to have their caricature on the iconic Packer Fence, showing their support of their favorite team. He notes that about 25 portraits have already been purchased, and the fence painting will commence in early April. You can find more information on the NFL fandom portraits at the Green Bay Gives Back website.
