This weekend will be a very big day for the powerful University of Iowa softball team as they will host an "Awareness Day" this coming Saturday.
The event is focused on raising awareness of issues within the community, with the help of organizations that the team has been working with throughout the year.
Members of the team divided into groups earlier in the year and began to work with various organizations in order to give back to the community. The team has helped a total of eight organizations in the community.

Steviee Grove, Micaela Whitney, and Johnnie Dowling paired with the Ronald McDonald House. Brianna Luna, Haley Hansel, and Mallorree Grove have teamed up to work with the Iowa City Hospice.
