Wisconsin Badger Braelon Allen Makes Appearance At Fond du Lac Boys And Girls Club

Wisconsin Badgers Football star running back Braelon Allen has teamed up with Outback Steakhouse to serve lunch at the Fond du Lac Boys and Girls Club Friday, December 15, 2022, as part of Outback’s “TeamMATES” program.

The restaurant campaign pairs select college athletes to bring tailgate meals to local communities nationwide.

Allen arrived at the Fond du Lac Boys and Girls Club around 3:30 PM, to kids and staff eagerly waiting to meet the Fond du Lac native.

His first stop was in the adjoining YMCA gym where about 2 dozen elementary kids listened to Allen talk, letting them know he was once a Boys and Girls Club member at that location.

After a short talk and some photos with the kids, another couple dozen teens filtered into the gym, one of them with a football and a game of catch broke out between Allen and the group.

Boys and Girls Club staff brought out 2 sacks of footballs for Allen to autograph and give out.

Everyone then moved downstairs where Michael Hurly of Madison’s east side Outback Steakhouse had a serving line set up with chicken sandwiches and burgers from the restaurant along with chips, fruit and Gatorade.

Allen joined in the serving line to help the kids get their meal and then joined them and staff to eat before saying his goodbyes and heading off.
