December 12, 2012 (12/12/12) was formally declared Aaron Rogers Day
Madison – Today State Senator Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) released the following statement in honor of the second anniversary of Aaron Rodgers Day in Wisconsin.
“As we look forward to the holidays and a great season with the Green Bay Packers, I encourage folks in Wisconsin to join with me and remember this December 12th as the second anniversary of Aaron Rodgers Day,” said Carpenter.
“Given Aaron Rodgers wears number twelve on his Packer’s jersey, it was decided to appropriately name December 12, 2012 – or 12/12/12 – as a day formally recognizing both his achievements on the field, and his charitable contributions off the field,” said Carpenter.
Senator Carpenter was the lead senate author of legislation that was signed into law declaring Aaron Rodgers Day.
“Rodgers and his Packers teammates continue to provide great enjoyment for our state and to Packers fans the world over. Here’s hoping for a great season,” said Carpenter.
Go Pack!
