Micah Parsons Appears Wearing a “988” Cap, Sending a Life-Affirming Message in Support of World Suicide Prevention Day

This morning at the Green Bay Packers practice facility, Micah Parsons appeared in a green jacket with gold trim and a baseball cap embroidered with “988,” edged in teal and purple. No stage, no loud slogans—just three simple digits carrying a clear message: you are not alone.

“Today I don’t want to talk about any achievements. A human life cannot wait,” Parsons said quietly on the sideline. “If everything feels too heavy, call or text 988. If you know someone who’s gone silent, go sit beside them. Sometimes, presence is what saves a life.”

The number 988 is the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the United States, available 24/7 by call, text, or chat, free and confidential. The teal and purple on the cap are the awareness colors for suicide prevention campaigns, especially meaningful on World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10).

The small moment at practice quickly resonated: a group of visiting students whispered, “I’ll remember those three numbers,” a few shops around the facility posted QR codes linking directly to 988, and on social media the tags #YouAreNotAlone and #988Lifeline spread with a message that puts people before everything else.

Fans can lend support with very small steps: save 988 in your contacts, send a check-in message to the friend you’re thinking about, or share a short line—“Help is here — 988 (24/7).” Small, timely actions are sometimes the lifeline that keeps a life tethered.

If you or someone in the U.S. needs support, call/text/chat 988 (24/7, free, confidential). Outside the U.S., please find a local crisis hotline. If you’re in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

Packers Icon Donald Driver Returns as Co-Owner to Lead From the Front
Green Bay, WI – The Green Bay Packers are writing a new chapter in their history books. This week, reports confirmed that franchise legend Donald Driver has officially purchased a stake in the team, returning home as a co-owner. Few players in NFL history have embodied their franchise like Driver. The Packers’ all-time receiving leader with a relentless motor and team-first ethos, he helped keep Green Bay a perennial playoff contender across the 2000s and early 2010s. Driver’s bond with Wisconsin was never just about football. Through the Donald Driver Foundation, he has championed education, housing, and wellness initiatives for under-served families across the state — a symbol of his “lead from the front” mentality that fans still cherish. The Hall of Fame–bound wideout (Packers Hall of Fame inductee) long ago sealed his place as one of the franchise’s most beloved figures. Now, he returns not only as a hero of the past, but as an architect of the future. Driver isn’t new to leadership off the field. In recent years he has taken visible roles in business and community ventures, contributing in marketing, strategy, and engagement across Wisconsin. Those experiences now come back to Green Bay, where he will work alongside President/CEO Ed Policy to help reshape the Packers’ identity. With the team sitting at 1–3 in the 2025 season, his arrival signals a cultural reset as much as a business move. Fans on X and Facebook exploded with excitement, calling it a “new chapter in history” and a chance for Driver to lead the Packers once again — this time from the boardroom instead of the huddle. For Driver, the message is clear: whether in pads or in a suit, he’s still committed to Green Bay. And for Packers fans, the thought of their greatest icon leading from the front again feels like destiny fulfilled.
