PAPILLION, NEB. - The Omaha Storm Chasers' fifth annual "Chasers Community Week" Presented by UScellular kicks off on Monday, August 11. Storm Chasers players and front office staff members will volunteer throughout the Omaha metro community from August 11 to August 15, during the team's homestand against the St. Paul Saints.

"At UScellular, we strive to build a connection with our communities that extends beyond our business," says Monique Moore, UScellular's Director of Sales and Operations in Nebraska and west Iowa. "We are proud to support the Chasers organization and help Omaha youth at Completely KIDS get the supplies they need for a strong start to the new school year."

Details for each day of "Chasers Community Week" can be found below, which includes players and staff visiting Children's Nebraska and Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital, as well as participating in batting practice with local veterans at Werner Park, presented by Central Body Company. Additionally, front office staff will volunteer at Town & Country Animal Rescue, including many other events in the community.

"We pride ourselves on building meaningful connections with our community that go beyond the game," says Storm Chasers Community Relations Coordinator Alexis Smith. "Chasers Community Week is our opportunity to give back in a hands-on way, whether it's supporting local nonprofits, providing resources to youth, or showing appreciation to those who uplift our city. We're proud to stand with our partners and make a lasting impact throughout the Omaha area."
