"What little bit of volunteering a person can do has a huge impact on our community.

Sure, it's easy to give a dollar to an organization, but putting in time to help someone

is an incredibly rewarding feeling."

     - Felicia Melton-Smyth (SSBL-Madison Community Service Chair, 2005-2008)

The Community Service Committee provides players with opportunities to give back to the community. During 2007, we volunteered for  Capital Candlelighters by staffing their summer picnic and donated 10 percent of the proceeds from our annual drag show to this organization. We also donated $500 to the AIDS Network. If you want to volunteer for any of these organizations, let your coach know. If there are other community service events that you would like other players to know about, they can be posted here. E-mail Ben and provide him with the details.

Capital Candlelighters

Capital Candlelighters is a non-profit organization, serving families whose children have been diagnosed with cancer, primarily focused on those treated at the University of Wisconsin Children’s Hospital. They have a summer picnic which is on Sunday, August 12th, 2007 at Elver Park. They need help with running games, decorating, setting up and serving lunch for about 200 children and their families. Anne Spurgeon would love to have us help for this event.

AIDS Network

AIDS Network is the AIDS Service Organization for South Central Wisconsin. AIDS Network continues to strive to be independent, financially secure, respected and a leader in the communities we serve. As long as the HIV/AIDS epidemic continues, it will serve and advocate for people living with HIV/AIDS and deliver prevention messages to those most at risk in a culturally competent manner. Jeff Smith sends Felicia weekly volunteer opportunities which include, but are not limited to Client Assistance, Office Assistance, Prevention, and Outreach. Contact Felicia if you are interested in helping.
