The Chattanooga Packer Backers football club raises money every year for Toys for Tots while watching the Green Bay Packer games. Established in the early 1990s, the club has raised more than $18,300 (since 2011) for toys for area youngsters during the holiday season.

The Marines join club members for one game annually during the December holiday to accept money club members have raised.

All NFL fans are welcome to join club members who gather at El Meson Restaurant in Hixson for every Green Bay Packer game.
