It was billed as a fashion show, but the annual Goodwill Retro Rendezvous fundraiser Monday evening was part rock concert, dance show and Green Bay Packers rally.
The popular fundraiser drew about 1,000 Milwaukee-area business executives to the Potawatomi Bingo Casino to raise funds for Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin. The event is one of the largest fundraisers of the year in southeast Wisconsin.
Business executives in the crowd included Richard Meeusen, chairman and chief executive officer of Badger Meter Inc.; Robert Klug, managing director of RSA Capital LLC; and Brian Lammi, president of Lammi Sports Management.
“Dancing with the Stars” dancers Ashly DelGrosso-Costa and Damian Whitewood performed several dances for the audience and the Dance Masters Break Dancing Group made the trip from Hollywood to show off their break-dance moves.
But the big draw was the contingent of Packers who hit the runway, led by Donald Driver, his wife, Betina, and their three children, Cristian, Christina and Charity. via: bizjournals.com
Driver has been a spokesman for Goodwill for more than a decade and always brings his family for the show. They received a rousing ovation and Driver brought along his “Dancing with the Stars” championship trophy.
Other Packers to strut their stuff on the runway were tight end Jermichael Finley, linebacker Desmond Bishop, fullback John Kuhn and former defensive end Santana Dotson.
