Hands on Tuscaloosa "Fun Day!"

On August 27, 2011 Hands on Tuscaloosa, a volunteer initiative held by the University of Alabama’s Community Service Center, sponsored Fun Day at Tuscaloosa’s One Place! This event was held for the community to give families who were affected by the April 27 storm a Fun Day together. Children enjoyed several games including sack race, football toss, hat making, musical chairs, etc….

Food was provided as well as face painting and many other activities for the children. The University of Alabama’s radio station, 90.7FM WVUA, had a live remote on site with great music !

Hands on Tuscaloosa works with non-profit agencies to help serve the community’s needs. This initiative was developed to give UA students the opportunity to continue helping neighbors in the community. Over 60 volunteers lead games and handed out food at Fun Day!!!!! Hands on Tuscaloosa did a great job organizing and hosting this event. Thank you to everyone who participated! Together WE are continuing to make a difference in the lives of children and families in our community!!!
