The Sandbox at Madeline’s Place is a plan for a recreational
center that will serve teen’s emotional and physical needs. Its mission is to
support teenagers as they navigate adolescence and to ensure their experiences
to be safe, happy and reassuring. It will feature places to play and have fun
including a building for schoolwork, tutoring and spending time with other
students and mentors. By creating both indoor and outdoor volleyball courts,
the facility will be able to sustain itself from the profits brought in by
competitive leagues and team events hosted by The Sandbox.
Just a few weeks ago the Texas Wranglers and Texas Darlins
had the opportunity to visit the facility, which is still in stages of planning
and construction, to help the crew build benches and learn more about their
vision. The afternoon was spent cutting wood, putting all the pieces together,
sanding and staining the benches and meeting The Sandbox’s supporters.
Their mission was an inspiration to all of the volunteers,
and their vision was exciting and realistic. We hope to visit The Sandbox soon to
show our support for the construction of the site and the realization of an
important mission. We look forward to seeing the finished courts and
headquarters of The Sandbox, and can’t wait for the service they will be
providing to several high schools around Hutto.
For more information, visit their website at http://www.thesandboxatmadelinesplace.com/ or contact
The Texas Wranglers. Any donation or volunteer work is welcomed! Keep an eye
out for upcoming volleyball tournaments-they will offer one of the only indoor
sand volleyball facilities in central Texas. We look forward to future
opportunities to help them grow and expand this facility.
This one of many service events that the Texas Wranglers
complete throughout each semester, stay tuned for information on other events
and happenings.
