Fan of the Year Awardee
Shelby & Pat O'Donnell
Green Bay Packers Punter
Congratulations to our Coaches vs. Cancer Green Bay Gala Fan of the Year, Shelby and Pat O'Donnell!
The Fan of the Year Award recognizes an outstanding corporate, medical, or community partner of the American Cancer Society. The award is a prestigious local honor for individuals or organizations with extraordinary contributions to the fight against cancer through humanitarian efforts, distinguished service, and leadership.
Pat is the punter for the Green Bay Packers, and unfortunately lost his dad to colon cancer in 2017 after an 11-year fight. Pat continues to be inspired by his father's strength and perseverance while he was battling cancer. Shelby's family has raised over $30 million since the Jake Gittlen Cancer Research Foundation was started 53 years ago. The foundation was started in Pennsylvania when Shelby's maternal grandfather lost his dad to lung cancer. The foundation funded research that eventually led to the development of an HPV vaccine. We applaud their efforts in raising money and awareness and are honored to recognize those efforts with our
Fan of the Year Award.
