Blake participated in the Green Bay Packers 13th Annual Tailgate Tour that helped raise money for local nonprofit organizations throughout southern Wisconsin, eastern Iowa and the Milwaukee area. He has been a key player that has donated his time to the Salvation Army's Big Kettle campaign to help raise funds that were matched by current Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Over the past few years, Blake has supported many efforts that raise awareness for childhood cancer. Blake has been an active figure in the Penny Wars program by G9 (Gold in September). This program has schools around the state of Wisconsin compete to see who can raise the most funds for research for childhood cancer. The school that raises the most funds will receive a visit from Blake.

Blake has been a great role model since coming into the NFL four seasons ago. This year his teammates voted him as a team captain which is a big feat considering his youth. He is admired by his peers and has been a big contributor to giving back to the community he is from and especially the Green Bay community.
