GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – On Thursday, Lambeau Field held a preview event of next week's Give BIG Green Bay.
The Greater Green Bay Chamber's Current Young Professionals hosted the event which gave people a chance to get a deep dive into the organizations that will be supported during Give BIG Green Bay.
'There are so many things that are wonderful going on here,' began the Greater Green Bay Chamber V.P. of Talent & Education Matt Rentmeester. 'But this is a great way to convene everything into one space where you can go hear about all these wonderful nonprofits and find out 'if I want to roll up my sleeves and get involved with either my time, my talent, or my treasure, how am I going to do it,' this is a great way to find out.'

Racquetball's U.S. Open coming to Springfield in 2026
SPRINGFIELD, Mo–A year from Tuesday, the best racquetball players in the world will be in Springfield for the U.S. Open. Executive Director Jeff Collins made the announcement. And he expects up to 500 racquetball players from around the world to gather in Springfield in June of 2026. Missouri State's racquetball courts at Plaster Stadium will host preliminary matches. And the championship matches will be in a special glass-encased court at the Expo Center. Grandstands will be built around the special court. Racquetball's U.S. Open has not been held since 2022. So it'll also be a reunion for top level players. 'It's always been that kind of pilgrimage for all the racquetball players that they want to go to the U.S. Open. They want to compete to be crowned U.S. Open champion for either their age bracket or their skill division. But it's also a chance for family to get back to together,' said USA Racquetball's Stewart Solomon. 'You know the name U.S. Open is so recognizable. And in racquetball, like other sports, the prize money is doubled, tripled quadrupled. Along with that it's doubled, tripled, quadrupled the points. And when all that stuff is added in there, it just matters more. And play gets more intense,' said former racquetball pro Cliff Swan. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Evan Truesdale already has multiple New York State records and is looking to add United States and World records to the list in Nevada for the Championships. 'I'm gonna be hyped. I'm gonna be psyched. I'm gonna be, yeah, let's go. I'm nervous for sure, but I'm confident. I'm really confident,' said Truesdale. He has the records for the state in his age and weight group in the total, bench, squat, and deadlift. He set the bench at 254 pounds, the squat at 392 pounds, and the deadlift at 475 pounds.

From lifting his couch and ping pong table, to now trying to break world records, Truesdale has confidence in himself that he will be able to do it, and represent the Chenango Forks community. 'It's taken a lot to get there, but I have a very strict routine, a very strict diet. I have worked a lot, and I have a very supportive group, my family, my friends.' In Nevada, he will be chasing a 410-pound squat and a 516-pound deadlift. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
