Mini Canes Staff teaches that it is better to give than receive
Giving instead of receiving has been a lesson highly valued every summer for the campers of the Mini Canes Recreational Sports Camp at the Wellness Center. Every summer the campers give back to the community by donating the profits from their weekly pizza lunches to the United Way. This past summer (2009) the campers raised a record-high $3,182, bringing the total donated over the past eight years to $20,708.
One important component of wellness is good citizenship which is exhibited through the United Way Pizza Day campaign. The United Way Pizza Day campaign teaches the children that sometimes giving is better than receiving and helping others is a worthwhile cause.
