Community Involvement
Fox Island Sports Leagues
Caroline Campbell and Dan Miller Jr. are deeply connected to their community on Fox Island. In the spring of 2024, Caroline and Dan founded a T-ball league with the support of the island’s non-profit organization, FICRA, that owns the Nichols Community Center on Fox Island. The T-ball program was so successful that Caroline and Dan now organize and manage both a baseball and soccer league through FICRA.
With the rise of elite children’s sports that require multiple weeknight practices, consume weekends, and cost thousands of dollars, Caroline wanted to form a baseball league that prioritizes fun, good sportsmanship, and teaches the fundamentals of the game without overburdening already busy family schedules. When Caroline approached the FICRA board in 2024 with her proposal for a T-ball league that would only play mid-week and cost just $50 to play, the board warmly supported her and approved the proposal. Caroline organized the registration through FICRA, purchased equipment, formed teams, recruited coaches and sponsors, and had a successful season with 50 children participating. In true down-home fashion, the T-ball league finished the season with an all-league potluck and hot dog barbecue.
After the success of the inaugural T-ball season, Caroline and Dan organized a fall soccer league on Fox Island that over 70 children participated in the first year. Caroline and Dan have grown the spring baseball program to include both T-ball and baseball, with over 70 children participating in 2025. The fall soccer league has 100 children registered this year with three separate age divisions. Caroline and Dan both coach at least one baseball and soccer team each season.
Each sports season ends with an all-league potluck where Dan and Caroline grill hot dogs and thank everyone for participating in the league. It has been a rewarding volunteer endeavor to form, organize and manage these sports leagues for the community. The baseball and soccer leagues are Caroline’s and Dan’s gift to their community to promote togetherness among Fox Island and Gig Harbor families while promoting a fun-focused league for children to play in a low-pressure environment.
Hair Donation
From the time she was a small child, Caroline has always loved babies and children. If you have met Caroline, you know that she is blessed with thick hair that grows rapidly and that and she shares her good hair fortune with less fortunate children. When she was a teenager, Caroline made her first hair donation to Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that creates hair prosthetics for children who suffer hair loss because of medical conditions, burn trauma, and cancer treatment. Over the years, Caroline has donated between 12 to 18 inches of her hair to Locks of Love and Wigs for Kids on at least a half dozen occasions.
