Ex-Bear Donnell Woolford Joins Batavia Moose

Retired Chicago Bears Cornerback Donnell Woolford will meet with the Mooseheart Red Ramblers football team Sunday and share his insights as a professional athlete on team-building.

Woolford will sit down for lunch with the Mooseheart student-athletes immediately following the ceremony where he is officially enrolled as a member of the Moose fraternal organization, at Batavia Lodge No. 682. Mooseheart is a residential community and school for children whose families are unable to care for them.

Woolford is committed to numerous causes—prominent among which is finding a cure for pediatric brain cancer, through his support of the Max Lacewell Foundation, an organization established to raise awareness of pediatric brain tumors. Max's parents, Dave and LeAnne Lacewell, will be on hand at the Moose Lodge, as well.

The meeting will take place at noon Sunday, Oct. 16, at the Batavia Moose Lodge, 1535 South Batavia Ave., Batavia.

Moose International is an international membership organization of roughly 1.1 million men and women dedicated to caring for young and old, bringing communities closer together and celebrating life. The Moose organization maintains more than 1,800 Moose Centers across the U.S., Canada, Great Britain and Bermuda, providing members with family-oriented social, dining and sports activities.

The Moose organization's main endeavors include Mooseheart Child City & School, a residential community and school for children whose families are unable to care for them; and Moosehaven, a Florida retirement community for senior members.

Children at Mooseheart receive the nurturing home, spiritual development and solid education they need to reach their full potential through a variety of innovative, nationally-recognized educational and family-living programs.
