When Renee Williams was a young child, her father put the family name on the Green Bay Packers season tickets waiting list.

When she reached high school, they finally became season ticket holders.

Today, Williams is a business owner in Parker, and she still hangs on to the tickets, even though they live out of state.

Williams is the owner of To the Rescue, a personalized assistance program for seniors, single or dual-income families, those recovering from illness and developmentally disabled.

One of her clients, 21-year-old Zachary Czarnek, who is developmentally disabled, struck up a conversation with William’s husband, Tim Dorn about football.

“I found out he was a Packers fan, how cool,” Dorn said. A week later, Dorn grabbed a Packers hat and pennant to give to Czarnek that he had at his house.

“I gave him a hard time when I saw him after that, and he didn’t have the right green on,” Dorn said.

A few weeks later, Dorn said the Green Bay Packers tickets came in their mail. As the two discussed game dates for the 2009-2010 season, they both agreed it would be an honor to take Czarnek to the pre-season game, Aug. 15, against the Cleveland Browns at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisc.

“It was a gorgeous day in Wisconsin,” Dorn said. “It is always a crap shoot on the weather, but that doesn’t stop a Green Bay Packer fan.”

Dorn, who had never experienced the airport with somebody in a wheelchair, commented on how the security procedures were different.

“He was out of his element,” Dorn said. “It was a long day for him.”

Dorn said that Czarnek was pretty excited during the game, and they cheered the Packers on with popcorn and peanuts.

“It was a fast and furious weekend,” Dorn said.

And the best ending he said for all of them was the score.

“A 17-0 Green Bay win over the Browns.”
