On Saturday, Nov. 19 a dodgeball competition will take place in O’Connor Sports Center at 1 p.m. Teams of 6-8 students will play on the court at one time, with the option for the use of substitutes. Teams will play a round-robin,
followed by a single-elimination tournament. Alternative Breaks, the group affiliated with the week-long service
excursions during spring and summer breaks, will be holding the tournament. The competition will give students
the chance to re-live childhood memories, as well as raise
money for a worthy cause. Each team will raise money for
one of the 25 Alternative Break (AB) trips, but if a team does not choose a trip, their registration money will go straight to the AB fund. This is one of the many fundraisers that will help raise money for the Alternative Breaks trips, and the winning team will receive a complimentary meal from
Chipotle. Head of Alternative Breaks’ Fundraising Chair, Katie Cooper, hopes that the fundraiser will raise awareness of Alternative Breaks and encourage people to get involved. “Our ultimate goal is to create active citizens in our society, aware of the world around them and how their actions affect it,” Cooper said. Students may sign up for the event until Nov. 16. Registration is $5. Sign-up and registration will be inside Gallagher Student Center.
