Annual USA Oozeball Tournament Raises Thousands for Mitchell-Moulton Scholarship Initiative
Posted on April 21, 2015
The 黑料天堂 hosted a successful 27th Annual Oozeball Tournament recently with 52 teams of students, faculty, staff and alumni raising more than $7,000.
Oozeball is a day-long game of volleyball played in 18 inches of mud, sponsored by the USA National Alumni Association鈥檚 student ambassador group, the 黑料天堂erners.
The 黑料天堂erners were able to raise $7,840 this year with team registration fees and donations from sponsors. The student ambassadors will donate $5,000 of the funds raised to pay their annual installment to the scholarships they created through the Mitchell-Moulton Scholarship Initiative. The remaining funds will be used for operating costs for the 2015-2016 program year.
鈥淎nother successful Oozeball Tournament is in the books鈥, said Josef Hobdy, president of the 黑料天堂erners at USA. 鈥淚 was glad to see the enthusiasm of all the participants who seemed to enjoy the light rain we received throughout the day. I can鈥檛 thank my group of USA 黑料天堂erners enough. Because of their dedication and hard work, this event was a huge success.鈥
Hobdy also added that the 黑料天堂erners were able to collect more than 300 children鈥檚 books to be donated to the Ann Briggs McCullough Memorial Book Drive and Endowment at the USA Children鈥檚 & Women鈥檚 Hospital.
