Cherry Starr wishes good luck to all 32 starting NFL quarterbacks

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A heartwarming tradition continues on as the National Football League enters the 2023 season.

It has been four years since legendary quarterback Bart Starr passed away, but before he did, he would write letters to each quarterback in the NFL every season.

His wife Cherry Starr is now continuing that tradition.

She has sent out the 2023 "kick off" notes to all 32 quarterbacks, wishing them good luck in each note.

In response, each quarterback contributed an autographed helmet that will be auctioned off to benefit the Starr Children's Fund "Helmets for Heroes" online auction during Pediatric Cancer Awareness month in September.

The auction will open Wednesday, Sept. 6, running through Sept. 13. More information can be found by clicking here.
