Jaevery McFadden always wanted to give back to the organization that he fondly remembers having a positive impact on his childhood. He finally got that chance Friday afternoon at the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County — on his second attempt.
“I applied for a job last summer here, and they didn’t hire me,” McFadden said with a grin. “So I don’t know what happened. But it’s all good.”
McFadden was joined by UW safeties Shane Carter and Aubrey Pleasant and cornerback Devin Smith, as the quartet of Badger defensive players hung out and played football with about 30 children between the ages of 7 and 12 in the gymnasium of the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County in south Madison.
