Pikes assist the Boys & Girls Club of King County

On Saturday, April 3rd, twenty five Pikes from the University of Washington participated in the inaugural "Pikes Building Community" project. Undergraduates and alumni partnered together to restore a baseball field and repaint a computer lab for the Southwest Branch of the Boys & Girls Club. The Southwest Branch serves one of the lowest income populations in the State of Washington. A grant from the King County Housing Authority funded the supplies needed for the two projects and volunteers provided the manpower. After the baseball field was restored, two teams were formed (including kids from the Club) and the field was put to immediate use. We're proud to see the men of Beta Beta chapter working to benefit the community, and we expect to undertake similar community building projects in the future.
