A partnership between United Health Care and the Green Bay Packers donated a new playground to Lincoln Elementary School Monday.

The new playground is 1,750 square feet and provides enough space accommodate up to 40 students at one time.

"The fans keep our game going so we try to get out in the community and give back as much as we can. I feel like the fans give up their quality time to our games and checking us out motivating us for the most part. We do what we can to give back," Elliott said.

The project is part of a $27,000 grant to Elliott's Dreambuilder's Program, helping students achieve their dreams.
