Brett Favre, J. Pechauer team up to raise money for charity

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre and J. Pechauer Custom Cues are proud to announce the uniting of forces to help raise money for charity. Pechauer Cues is creating a uniquely designed pool cue for the serious collector and the die-hard Favre fan.

There will be only 25 of these once-in-a-lifetime cues. All cues will be numbered and hand signed by both Favre and Joe Pechauer. Each cue will also include a certificate of authenticity.

Pechauer will give proceeds from the cues to the Brett and Deanna Favre charity organizations. The Brett Favre Fourward Foundation was established in 1996 to help disadvantaged and disabled children in Wisconsin and Brett’s home state of Mississippi. The Deanna Favre Hope Foundation aims to assist women with breast cancer who are underinsured or underserved.

“By giving all proceeds to the Brett and Deanna Favre Foundations, I am confident that all of the money given will be directed to the people and organizations that need it the most,” says Pechauer.

Green Bay, Wis., home of the Packers, is also the home of J. Pechauer Custom Cues, a family run business that has been making pool cues for over 40 years. Since its inception, Pechauer Cues has developed a strong reputation as not only one of the most desired playing cues in the world, but also a highly desired collectable cue as well.

The cues are comprised of exotic materials such as ebony, mother of pearl, ivory, malachite and other inlays designed to show bits of history of Green Bay’s favorite son. For a cue in such high demand, the Brett Favre signature collector cue will be modestly priced at $5000.00.

Everyone at Pechauer Cues wishes to congratulate Brett Favre for his leadership of the Green Bay Packers over the past 16 years as well as his leadership off the field.

Favre is the league's all-time leader in passing touchdowns, yards, completions and attempts. Favre is probably most known for the most consecutive starts by a quarterback in the NFL. Since taking the reins as quarterback of the Packers, he has started over 250 straight games. This is an unheard of accomplishment for a starting quarterback in today's NFL.
