The University of Wisconsin-Parkside Athletics Department is committed to a balanced student-athlete experience that develops future leaders and active community members. As the only NCAA Division II member in the state of Wisconsin, we strive to live the “Life in the Balance” philosophy by promoting academic excellence, athletic success, and community engagement to ensure personal growth and development.

Lee Mechanical Inc. has agreed to a multi-year partnership to become a RangerVision 2020 Community Champion, UW-Parkside Director of Athletics Andrew Gavin announced Tuesday. The Kenosha-based company is not only a leading plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical contractor in Southeastern Wisconsin, but a committed supporter of the community.

Lee Mechanical’s support of Parkside Athletics will be instrumental to the completion of the RangerVision 2020 projects and enhancing the gameday atmosphere in De Simone Gymnasium, including collaborating with HARIBO of America to host a Boys & Girls Club Day as part of the HARIBO Invitational on Nov. 19-20 and sponsoring a Lee Mechanical Night in January.

“It’s an honor for a hometown contractor to team up with a world class company like HARIBO to provide our Boys & Girls Club youth the opportunity to experience this first-class venue at Parkside and college life for a day,” said Bob Lee, Jr., President/CEO of Lee Mechanical.

Parkside will host the second annual HARIBO Invitational on Nov. 19-20 in the newly renovated De Simone Gymnasium. Parkside will battle Southwest Minnesota State on Friday at 7 p.m. and Upper Iowa on Saturday at 3 p.m. On Saturday, Lee Mechanical has partnered with HARIBO to host a Boys & Girls Club Day. Individual tickets for the HARIBO Invitational are available at  ParksideRangers.com/Tickets, along with mini packs, season tickets and group ticket information.
