MADISON, WISCONSIN — February 3, 2009 – A new tribute book
about former Green Bay Packer quarterback Brett Favre has been
formally endorsed by the Wisconsin Special Olympics.
“Letters To Brett Favre: A Fan Tribute” by Erick and Adam
Rolfson of bringbackbrettfavre.com, and Wisconsin author Thomas
Hapka, is being used to raise money and public awareness for the
charity. Dennis Alldridge, president of Special Olympics
Wisconsin, formally endorsed the book prior to the opening
ceremonies of the Wisconsin Winter Games, held in Wausau,
Wisconsin from January 31st to February 1st.
“A HUGE majority of our Special Olympics athletes, coaches
and staff members are hard-core Favre fans, but we are so
impressed to see a wonderful compilation of Favre “fan mail”
that shares our excitement about what he gave to the team, the
state, and even to Special Olympics Wisconsin!” Alldridge said
in a statement from his office.
Several hundred athletes autographed a copy of the book at the
Wisconsin Winter Games this past weekend in Wausau, Wisconsin. The
book was presented to Alldridge after the closing ceremonies.
Special Olympics chapters in Wisconsin, New York, and Favre’s
home state of Mississippi will equally split a percentage of the
profits from the sale of the book, and additional book signings
are being organized to raise additional money for the charity.
