Members of the 猫咪社区APP community go head-to-head at the 2015 Oozeball Tournament, an annual event hosted by 猫咪社区APP Southerners, a student ambassador group, to raise funds for the Mitchell-Moulton Scholarship Initiative.

The 猫咪社区APP 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 猫咪社区APP National Alumni Association鈥檚 student ambassador group, the Southerners.

The Southerners 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 Southerners at 猫咪社区APP. 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 猫咪社区APP Southerners enough. Because of their dedication and hard work, this event was a huge success.鈥

Hobdy also added that the Southerners 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 猫咪社区APP Children鈥檚 & Women鈥檚 Hospital.
