ISHPEMING -- Just before Christmas, we told you of a special mosaic, honoring the Green Bay Packers, which was being auctioned off to help out an Ishpeming boy.

Two Marquette residents created a Packers jersey mosaic to raise money for nine-year-old Griffin Heltsen and his family to offset his medical costs.  Griffin needs a heart transplant.

We received a note letting us know that the mosaic sold for $150.  In addition, the man who bought the mosaic gave it to Griffin.
