Students with a mission
Posted by Public Affairs under: Outreach; Students .
Welcome to Day 6 of the Kapco Charitable Challenge, in which five groups of Wisconsin Lutheran College students are competing against one another and against groups from Marquette University and Concordia University Wisconsin. Round 1 will last 20 days before a new challenge is issued for Round 2 to the winning team from each college.
At the Challenge’s kickoff event, held at the Bradley Center, Kapco Metal Stamping’s president Jim Kacmarcik gave each group $1,000 and asked the students to help people in the five-county greater Milwaukee area. He also challenged them to turn that $1,000 into something more. Since the kickoff, the student groups have written mission statements, researched local charities, and begun raising money and making an impact. The students truly embody WLC’s Christian leadership tenet.
Kapco Metal Stamping president Jim Kacmarcik challenges WLC students to make an impact.
Part of Kacmarcik’s challenge to the students was to share their mission statements with as many people as possible, to get the word out. This is where you come in. Please take a moment to read the mission statements of WLC’s five student groups at the bottom of our Charitable Challenge page. There you also can view video from the Challenge kickoff, a photo gallery, and links to the groups’ pages on Facebook and Twitter.
If you are so moved, please share the link to these mission statements with people you know. This not only will help the students in their competition, but ultimately will benefit many people in need in the Milwaukee area.
