COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS:
Rebuilders Day
For over 12 years, OC Badgers have teamed up with Iowa Alumni to help Orange County neighbors through a non-profit organization called Rebuilding Together Orange County (RTOC). RTOC's mission is to improve the safety, health and quality of life for low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners across the County.
- 2010 Rebuilders Day: TBD; details will be posted early Spring 2010 within newsletter, Facebook group, and Chapter emails.
- 2009 Rebuilders Day: April 18th & 25th Great Event; thanks to the team for sparing a few hours to help make a difference in someone's life!
With another Badger Football season comes another OC Badgers tradition – the Badger Football Fall Food Drive. It is so easy to help, not to mention convenient! Just bring a non-perishable food or daily living item to any Saturday Badger Football Viewing party. You will receive a raffle ticket for each donated item; drawing will be held at the end of the regular football season. All items will be donated to Share Our Selves helping families in Orange County.
- Christmas 2009: Chapter will again participate in Share Our Selves Adopt A Family (SOS) program. To give, we simply ask that you put cash or checks (payable to UW Alumni Club of Orange County) in the holiday decorated gift box that will be at each Badger Football viewing party. At the end of the season, with your generosity we hope to have enough to purchase gifts and food for two deserving families of Orange County.
- Christmas 2008: Chapter participated in Share Our Selves Adopt A Family (SOS) program; OC Badgers provided a "traditional" Christmas to two families with gifts for each family member as well as a complete Holiday meal. THANK YOU!
