The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has announced that the Green Bay Packers are honoring Packers great and Pro Football Hall of Famer Willie Davis with a $250,000 impact grant toward the establishment of the Willie Davis Financial Trading and Investment Laboratory within the University’s rapidly growing Cofrin School of Business.
The donation is an important next step in the University’s efforts to support the region’s robust financial services sector with a focus on financial literacy.
Davis passed away in April 2020 following a brief illness. During his 10 seasons with the Lombardi-era Packers, Davis was considered an anchor on the Packers’ defensive line, playing 138 consecutive regular-season games. Davis was a member of all five of Vince Lombardi’s NFL title-winning teams and played in
Super Bowls I and II.
