Consider it a holiday gift for the Green Bay Packer fan who has everything. Fans now have the opportunity to purchase original bricks from the birthplace home of Packers founder, player and coach, Earl "Curly" Lambeau. After the rediscovery of Lambeau's Green Bay home last spring, a group of local investors started to renovate the exterior of the house at 615 N. Irwin St. Part of the renovation included replacing 104 bricks that were starting to deteriorate. "Owning a piece of Packers' and Curly Lambeau's history is rare," stated Rudy Hanamann, investor in the Birthplace of Curly Lambeau. "We are excited to be able to save some of the bricks from this legendary home. These bricks would make the perfect gift for Packers fans young and old. The best part of this gift idea is that proceeds from this sale will go toward helping out Nicolet Elementary School across the street from Curly's birthplace home." With a tax deductible donation of $2,000 to the Friends of Nicolet School, a non-profit organization that supports the elementary school, an original brick from Lambeau's home will be given to the donor. Each brick will be numbered and will arrive with a certificate of authenticity. To make a donation to the Friends of Nicolet School and receive a Lambeau brick, e-mail your request to jrcalewarts@yahoo.com, and include name and phone number.
