'VolunDeer Day': Bucks staff members help clean up Menomonee Valley Community Park

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- There's still a lot of cleanup to be done in the wake of the August flood, and on Friday, members of the Milwaukee Bucks staff put on gloves and went to work. 

This was what they call a "VolunDeer Day." It's part of the Bucks organization's mission to give back to their hometown.

These "volundeers" left their desks and offices and cleaned up debris at the Menomonee Valley Community Park in Milwaukee, filling giant trash bags and getting a feel for what a lot of their fans have been going through over the last month. 

"It means that much more that we can take an afternoon, stop sending emails, stop doing meetings and see some of that devastation that has occurred across our community, that's outside our homes," said Arvind Gopalratnam, senior VP of corporate responsibility, Milwaukee Bucks. "And then most importantly, if we all team up together, we can make a good impact and help clean it up."

More than 200 Bucks "volundeers" were out there Friday working with Milwaukee Riverkeeper, the nonprofit group dedicated to protecting the city's waterways.
