The Boys and Girls Wildcat Basketball Teams, along with the Belleville Sports Boosters, are once again teaming up with the American Family Children's Hospital for this year's "Hoops with Heart, Let's Do Our Part" fundraising campaign. Along with funds, this year's focus is to raise awareness in support of the hospital's Child Life Program. The Child Life Program touches the lives of all children and their families in need of the hospital ensuring a positive hospital experience. Please visit http://www.uwhealthkids. org/patient-guide/child-life/38525 to learn more. How very lucky we are to have such an amazing place so close to home!

Join us for themed "Purple Out" nights taking place Tuesday, January 10th, as the girls take on Cambridge and Thursday, January 12th, when the boys host Waterloo. Along with a "Purple Out" of the gym, the team will be conducting a bake sale, a 50/50 raffle, as well as selling "Purple Out" spirit items and a purple commemorative t-shirt. A limited number of T-shirts will be available on a first-come, first serve basis the night of the games. You can also reserve a shirt by contacting Jill at Belleville Embroidery, (608) 333-6864. They are $12.00. Mark those calendars and let's "Put on the Purple" in support of Wildcat Basketball and the American Family Children's Hospital.

If you'd like to help more or are unable to attend one of the games, please visit the Children's Hospital website at uwhealthkids.org and select the Get Involved tab or you may drop off a donation at any of the school offices. Please make checks payable to the American Family Children's Hospital Child Life Program. The Hoops with Heart team thanks you for your help!!
