We have our recruitment, we have our faithbased inititative and basically it allows the community to get a behind the scenes look at the district.

For one milwaukee neighborhood, one local team is trying to help that change happen. Tonight, brandon goes beyond the game in sherman park. They were so excited to see us here.

After a young man, who police say was armed, was shot and killed by a Milwaukee Police of burned down businesses in the area. Milwaukee native duane wilson, a guard on marquettes Basketball Team, saw those events unfold and they affected him emotionally. My feeling, i was sad especially being from milwaukee, a milwaukee native ive got a lot of family members that live over in this area it was just sad to see that type of stuff going on. Because it happened in the city of milwaukee, marquette basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski felt his players and staff should do something to try and help out the neighborhood. As a member of these events had to happen, you feel for everyone involved and you just want to help, and you want to try and make it better. So, the Golden Eagles Basketball Team went into the sherman park neighborhood to do just that.

I think its Great Community event for the kids something good for them, obviously all with them, the boys dont get that every day you know. As the nights of protests and fires wont soon be forgotten, donte daughtry, who works for the boys and girls club in the area, believes a new chapter is beginning. It definitely affected me pretty hard. But events like these are the things that weve done throughout even the unrest. So it makes me very happy that we have things like this that settle the community. That chapter is starting with the children, something sherman park residn great first step. That situation was a little scary. But marquette and the Boys Girls Club coming together for the young kids is amazing for this community right now. With the events in august as a reminder of what can go wrong, marquettes director of player personnel Travis Diener knows what can go right if people lend a hand and open their hearts. Its really unfortunate, not just here in milwaukee, but across the United States the issues that are going on. Thats why today is very important for everybody just to give back a little bit and get everyone on 6 sports. This outreach was part of the programs year round effort to help the community.
