Aligning with Community Goals: Wisconsin Athletics Food Drive

As the chill of autumn begins to set in, many families look forward to the warmth of the Thanksgiving season, a time of reflection and gratitude. This year, Wisconsin Athletics is amplifying the spirit of giving by once again joining hands with the Goodman Community Center for their annual Wisconsin Athletics food drive events, Stuff the Field House and Stuff the Kohl Center.
