Warm sunshine. Blue skies.

A healthy Aaron Rodgers.

Best case scenario, those will all be a part of the fun at the annual Jordy Nelson Charity Softball Game, which will return to Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium in Grand Chute on June 2. 

The traditional slugfest between players of the Green Bay Packers' offense and defense, hosted by the star wide receiver, brought more than 8,000 people to the home of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers earlier this year.

Individual tickets for the 12:05 p.m. event go on sale at 10 a.m. Nov. 21 through the Timber Rattlers ticket office, by phone at 920-733-4152 and timberrattlers.com.

Fans can get game tickets a week earlier in a deal that also includes vouchers for any three Rattlers home games during the 2018 season (excluding Opening Day). 

Those four-ticket packs go on sale at 10 a.m. Nov. 15. Prices are $108 for a premium box seat, $87 for a box seat and $59 for reserved seating.

Come Nov. 21, ticket options include $89 for premium box seats, $48 for box seats, $29 for reserved bleacher seats and $14 for general admission grass. Patio tables will be available for $225, and include waitstaff service and an autographed item from Nelson.

For the Packers softball game only, tickets with an all-you-can-eat picnic option will be available for $87. Those seats are located on the first-base side of the stadium.

The day will begin with a sponsor softball game at 10 a.m. and a home run derby at 11. 

The 2018 game will be the fifth with Nelson at the helm. Donald Driver and Brett Favre are among the previous hosts. It's a fundraiser for Young Life, an organization backed by Nelson that works with middle, high school and college students, pairing them with adults for guidance. Last year, the event raised $130,000 for Young Life.

This summer's game ended in a 27-25 win for the offense. Among those taking part were Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb, Davante Adams, Clay Matthews, Mike Daniels, Mason Crosby and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.

Game rosters are typically announced about a week before.
