WIAA Pulls Plug on Charity Event

A local student organization planned a basketball game to raise money for a national charity but the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association said the event is against the rules. - WISN Story

"We must have been organizing this for four or five months," West Allis Central senior Dan Rogutich said.

The senior and the basketball coaches from both schools came up with the idea.They're all involved in raising money for Invisible Children Inc., a nonprofit that helps Ugandan children in the throes of war."Our school has gotten involved and we decided to go big this year and hold one big event," Rogutich said.The students are trying to top the $5,600 they raised last year. This time around, a day of activities was planned for the Jan. 31.

The scheduled events included a Ugandan speaker, a band, wheelchair basketball and the big draw -- the co-ed basketball game, but the WIAA is pulling the plug. - WISN

So, here is a group of Students and Administrators who are trying to do something that is good for the community, school, kids, and shows a good example and the WIAA has decided to stick it's head so far up it's butt that it can't seem to find a work around that would help.

I don't understand what the hell they could be thinking. Oh my gosh if we let this happen then other kids and schools might want to do the same thing. WOW, now that would just be a travesty!

This is not the first stupid thing the WIAA has done, as a matter of fact is just another in a growing list.
