Residents in Louisiana are still working to recover from the disastrous floods that ravaged the state last month. UW, with a couple of partners, is working to assist relief efforts.
Two organizations, 100 Black Men of Madison and ASPIRE, have donated goods that will be distributed to families in need. 100 Black Men of Madison, in conjunction with the United Way of Dane County, has sent backpacks and school supplies for grade school children. The official sports drink of Wisconsin Athletics, ASPIRE has given one palette of drinks, about 2,000 bottles.
The donations will be loaded onto Wisconsin football’s equipment truck as it travels up to Green Bay on Thursday.
