(WBAY) &#8211; The Brown County chapter of Disabled American Veterans (DAV) received a $21,112 check on Thursday afternoon. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The DAV held a raffle at all Bart Starr Plaza tailgate parties throughout the NFL season, with Packers fans helping to raise those funds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The money will now be distributed, helping veterans with things like rent, utilities, car payments, and anything else they may need assistance with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cVeterans are very prideful. They\u2019re very proud, and they don\u2019t like to ask for help, so when they finally do come to us, they\u2019re usually in a situation that\u2019s a little bit harder than normal,\u201d says Matt Kempainen, a chapter adjutant with the DAV of Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The chapter helps roughly 40-60 veterans per year. Depending on their needs, they spend anywhere from $60,000 to $130,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 WBAY.
