MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee youth football team rolled up their sleeves on Saturday to raise money for travel, equipment and other expenses.
The CLE Panthers, a local Pop Warner team, washed dozens of cars near 76th and Mill. In addition to raising money, it gave the boys a chance to help their community.
"It just gives the community a chance to kind of get involved, and it gives our kids a chance to get involved with the community," said Derricka Wesley, the team's CEO.
