ASK THE BADGERS
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
''
What is the most rewarding community service
activity you have been involved with?
MORGAN PAIGE // SENIOR // WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
"I participated in a Helping Hands project where Athletes in Action
helped clean, refinish and ready a widow's house to help her move.
It was a great way to give back in the Madison community."
MICHELLE MUELLER // SENIOR // SOFTBALL
"Well, I think they all have been rewarding in some
way or another, but volunteering out at the Heartland Farm Sanctuary. We got the chance to get
our hands dirty and work with young kids around
the farm! It was a neat and smelly day."
JOSH GASSER // JUNIOR // MEN'S BASKETBALL
"Getting a chance to visit the children's hospital is always a
rewarding experience. A lot of the kids are going through
some really hard times and just to see their faces light up
and smile can really make your day."
MADISON PACKER // SENIOR // WOMEN'S HOCKEY
"The most rewarding event I have been a part of was definitely
being on the patio with the children's hospital kids at a football
game. There were kids in wheelchairs, little kids with cancer and
they were so full of life. It was a humbling experience and was remarkable to see so many kids in negative circumstances with such
positive attitudes and outlooks on life. It taught me a lot about
myself, and made me realize how much I have to be grateful for.
Those kids truly are the most courageous individuals I have ever
met, and it is inspiring to see them enjoy life the way they do with
all the battles the have to fight when they wake up each morning."
