Position: Wide Receiver

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings recently conquered football’s greatest stage—Super Bowl XLV—with the same sense of purpose and humility he brings to all life’s challenges, both on the field and off.

A native of Kalamazoo, Michigan, Mr. Jennings and his three siblings grew up in the church, where their father, Greg, was a pastor at Progressive Deliverance Ministries, and their mother, Gwen, worked as a missionary. Because of the values instilled by his parents, Mr. Jennings has made philanthropy a top priority. In 2008, Mr. Jennings and his wife, Nicole, founded the Greg Jennings Foundation for Underprivileged Children and Families, partnering with 501(c)(3) organizations in Michigan and Wisconsin to provide self-help initiatives and programming to help the disadvantaged achieve personal, professional and financial goals.

Every year since its inception, the foundation has hosted the Greg Jennings Celebrity Golf Classic for the benefit of Habitat for Humanity. Thus far, this event has funded the building of three homes in inner city Milwaukee and one in Kalamazoo. The Greg Jennings Foundation aims to brighten the holidays with a variety of programs each year, hosting an elegant Thanksgiving dinner, holding Thanksgiving turkey giveaways, and delivering gifts to families in need on Christmas. In addition, annual football camps for up to 500 boys and girls give local children the chance to hear Mr. Jennings speak, and to be inspired by speakers from ordinary walks of life: volunteers, parents and teachers.

Mr. Jennings was an all-conference star in three sports (football, basketball, and track) at Kalamazoo Central High School. He went on to enjoy a standout career at Western Michigan University where he became just the 11th player in NCAA Division I history to record three career 1,000-yard receiving seasons (2003-05), and enjoyed a record-breaking senior year, leading the nation with an average of 8.91 receptions per game, while also ranking second in the country in yards receiving per game (114.45).

Drafted in 2006 by the Packers, Mr. Jennings quickly distinguished himself, being named to the All-Rookie Team and catching quarterback Brett Favre’s 400th, 420th and 421st touchdown passes as the NFL legend chased, matched, and surpassed Dan Marino’s all-time NFL record. In 2010, Jennings was named a Pro Bowl wide receiver selection, and became a Super Bowl XLV champion, scoring two touchdowns in the Packers’ 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
