Packers fans now have 1,000 reasons to root for a touchdown from Packers receiver Greg Jennings.

Jennings has just pledged to donate $1,000 to House of Hope, a Green Bay shelter for women and single mothers, for every time he catches a touchdown.

Jennings scored a career-best 12 touchdowns in 2007. He had four in 2009, nine in 2008 and three as a rookie in 2006. (Randy Moss holds the all-time record of 23 TDs from 2008 season).

"We are blessed to be in a position to give back," Greg Jennings said Wednesday. "And we have found a charity that is close to our hearts with the House of Hope. We hope to raise lots of money for them as long as I'm a Packer."

Through a statement released by the Jennings family announcing the Touchdowns for Hope campaign, House of Hope director Jennifer Allen said: We are beyond grateful for what Greg and his foundation are doing for House of Hope. Its a wonderful partnership of two organizations focused on helping children and their families reach their personal and professional goals.

Greg's wife, Nicole, said the Greg Jennings Foundation wanted to form this partnership because of her own background.

Growing up, my mother and I had a period in life where we had to lean on a facility similar to House of Hope for food and shelter," Nicole said in a statement. "This experience made a positive and memorable impact on my life, and I believe it is important to do the same for other women and children that may have that same need.

There is a kick-off event at the Oneida Country Club Sept. 7 at 6 p.m. Tickets are $50. For more information go to www.touchdownsforhope.org or www.GJ85Foundation.com

Gotta love this guy

Rodgers, DD, Hawk, James Jones and some other will also be there. I already got my tickets.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
