Dawgs For a Great Cause

By Athletic Communications on April 28, 2010 9:20 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

When you are visiting the University of Washington athletic campus this weekend for the multitude of events taking place, make sure to bring some extra change with you!

Some of your favorite student-athletes will be canvassing the spring game, softball and baseball games as well as the parking lots and stadium from 5-6 pm on Friday, April 1 and again on Saturday, May 1 for the Windermere Cup event from 9-12 noon in order to raise funds for the Coins for Kids initiative.

The Coins for Kids initiative was started by WSAAC (Washington Student Athlete Advisory Council) to help Seattle Public Schools purchase much-needed athletic equipment for their Physical Education Program. Because athletics plays such a major role in their life, this project is near and dear to our student-athletes' hearts.

WSAAC holds one event per quarter and this weekend is the last event of the school year. This year, they have raised about $5,200 for SPS and hope to eclipse the $7,500 mark by the end of the weekend. So, when you see our Dawgs out there in the crowd, please dig into your pockets and donate some change to a great cause!
