GBB Fan of the Year

The Greenville Browns Backer Fan of the Year (GBB FoY) was first started in the 2024 Season. This is for someone who has been identified as a true die-hard Browns Fan. Someone who, week after week will root on the Browns no matter what.

"Change for Change" Program: Every time that the Browns score, we take the change that's in our pockets or left over from our drinks and drop it in a bucket. This money is then donated at the end of the year to the non-profit of the GBB FoY's choice.

The GBB FoY also gets their name engraved on a nameplate and put onto a stadium seat from the old Municipal Stadium. This seat was donated by David Doubek. It is in memory of his late son David, who was a die-hard Browns fan and had purchased seat when they tore Muni Stadium down.

2024 GBB FoY

Joanie Ripley was a life long Browns fan and a member of the Greenville Browns Backers for several years. She was one of the first to show up to a viewing party and typically sat in the same seat every week. Unfortunately we lost Joanie just a few months before the season started in 2024. Although Joanie was not with us to pick the "change for change" charity, we knew of her love for the Greenville Humane Society and were able to donate $85 to them in her name.

2025 GBB FoY

Were you there week in and week out cheering for the Browns? Does everyone know you as a die hard fan of the Cleveland Browns? Then maybe you will be chosen the next GBB Fan of the Year.
