WNBA hosts community events before season-openers

Came across this from the people over at SilverStarsNation. The WNBA is hosting community events this week as part of WNBA Cares Week before they officially tip-off.  Some of the highlights (I’m a sucker for parent-child stuff.)

Houston: The Comets will host a special Mothers and Daughters Shooting Clinic with the Monica Lamb Foundation on May 10. Participants will have a chance to interact with players and learn important lessons about health and wellness.

San Antonio: The Silver Stars squad will visit wounded soldiers at the Center for the Intrepid at Fort Sam Houston on May 22. The players will bring special gifts and spend time with the soldiers and their families.

The Center for the Intrepid is a great rehabilitation facility for veterans and those injured in combat. It was all privately funded by donations. Anyway, back to the community stuff.

Detroit: The team will unveil the “Detroit Shock Inspiring Women & Live, Learn and Play Center” at the Ronald McDonald House of Detroit. The entire squad will work on the facility’s backyard including painting, setting up furniture and planting trees and flowers. The mothers living in the house will also be honored as part of an unveiling celebration on May 15.

If you’re so inclined, help out the organizations the WNBA is helping, too.
