Your teenage dreams of making a difference just got schooled
So here's the deal—you ever think back to what you were doing when you were 12? Probably playing video games, maybe riding your bike down by the Fox River, or, if you're like me, dreaming of the Packers finally getting a decent kicker. Well, a kid right here from Green Bay, Max Bobholz, started a whole non-profit when he was *twelve* years old. He called it Angels at Bat, and it's all about growing the game of baseball over in Africa. That's right, Green Bay to Africa, which is wild.
### From Green Bay to Global Impact
Yeah so, Max is 26 now, and he's still at it. He's been working to bring equipment, coaching, and just general love for the game to communities in Africa for fourteen years. Think about that for a second. Most of us are just figuring out how to pay our utility bills at 26, and this guy is building a bridge between our little slice of Wisconsin and kids halfway across the world, all through a game we love. It's got that true Green Bay grit to it, that community-first mentality, just on a much bigger scale.

It's just one of those stories that makes you feel good about where we come from. It reminds you that even in a place where football is practically a religion, there's always room for a young guy with a big heart to step up and do something really meaningful for others, no matter where they are. That's the Green Bay spirit right there, you betcha.
Green Bay on the wire — cold hands, warm hearts, and Lombardis.
