Tomorrow, Sunday, Wave players do their part for Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in the eighth annual Green Jersey Game.
Wave star Todd Dusosky has visited Children's Hospital of Wisconsin once a month for years to call bingo games for the kids. Though he's been sidelined this year with an injury, Dusosky has continued his visits.
But, on Sunday, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, the Wave help the kids on the field as they ditch their royal blue for green. You, then, can bid to win the jerseys of your favorite Wave players (which are washed -- thank you! -- and then autographed). Nearly $50,000 has been raised for Children's Hopsital in the first seven years of this event.
The Wave host New Jersey at 2 p.m. at the U.S. Cellular Arena in this year's game, and OnMilwaukee.com is one of the sponsors.
Again this season, the Wave are at the top of the standings, tied for first with rival Detroit. The top two teams in the league receive a first-round bye for the MISL playoffs, and the Wave are aiming to get back to the Final, which will be in Milwaukee on April 26.
