Thursday's Child funds one meal every month for parents of seriously ill children who are patients at American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison. Each evening meal serves 50-60 people. Thursday's Child donates $3,000 each year to provide these meals. The hospital itself, through money donated by NFL Alumni, funds one meal per week. Other meals come from organizations like ours.
Santa's team helps make Christmas wishes come true for children who have been referred to Thursday's Child by area social workers and doctors. In 2023, 75 families were on our list. They received $50 Target gift cards, one for each child in the family.
Third Annual Well-Built Humans Basketball Tournament Benefit
Held at the Belmont High School on April 5 and 6, raising $1,745 for Thursday’s Child!
16 teams from all over the tri-state area participated, raising money and awareness for Thursday's Child as well as having a good time with friends and family and enjoying some catching up with opponents. "A great day with good basketball, unexpected turns and great people," in the words of one participant.
Organizers Brent Curtis and Matt Eastlik, Potosi High School coaches and co-owners of Well-Built Humans Potosi and Mitch Austin, Darlington High School Principal, created this popular fund raiser. It focused on bringing together families and friends to watch their favorite teams play while they enjoyed concessions staffed by volunteers. People also registered for raffle prizes while keeping track of the standings from 6:00 p.m. on Friday through the 7:00 p.m. Saturday for the women's and men's championship games.
The Well-Built Humans Basketball Tournament Winning Teams
This year's winners were Team "Sophie's Team" - Women's Champions, and Team "Warbirds" - Men's Champions.
