Green Team Southwestern sponsored the February 10th basketball games featuring Southwestern College hosting Friends University at Stewart Field House in Winfield.
In order to symbolize Southwestern’s initiatives to “go green,” the Green Team encouraged fans attending the games to wear green, and prizes were awarded to the greenest fan in the crowd. Many other games, activities, and information occurred throughout the evening.
Green Team members also used this event as a fundraiser. According to Jason Speegle, director of Green Team Southwestern, students are planning a summer service trip to Chicago where they will work at a camp for underprivileged children. The Green Team sold T-shirts, water bottles, Green Team coffee tumblers, and baked goods.
“We hope to raise some money and to do a few things to make the game greener,” Speegle says. “There will be multiple recycling bins inside Stewart Field House and we will announce green tips and hand out information that everyone can use.”
Several local businesses also helped with the festivities. They include Gottlob Lawn and Landscape, Winfield Recreation Commission, Donna’s Designs, and the Massage Group
