Leadership Development Foundation's Monday Night Party at the WFDA's 2025 Annual Convention |
|
This year at Convention, the Leadership Development Foundation hosted a Monday Night Party in Lambeau Field's Hall of Fame. It turned out to be the most successful LDF event we have EVER had—so much so that the venue asked us to shut off registration after it reached 100 people! We started out with a "Legends Never Die" scavenger hunt, where guests learned about passed Packer's players lives, memorial services, and final disposition details. We then went on exclusive Lambeau field tours that took us through the Gameday Suites, Roof Top Viewing Deck, Players' Tunnel, and Field Level. We celebrated with a resounding "GO, PACK, GO!" that echoed throughout the entire stadium. The evening carried on with a private party in the Hall of Fame complete with food, a bar hosted by Lakeshore Burial Vaults and Valor Technical Cleaning, prize raffles, and exclusive access to all the Packer's trophies and artifacts on display. The LDF set the bar high for Monday night Convention parties, and we are excited to see what the future holds for us moving forward! |
