Fundraising Galore!

The fundraising run started as soon as the semester began. The team started out the first weekend back to school by reffing the Cactus Classic Junior Volleyball Tournament in Tucson, Arizona. The club reffed at multiple locations for girls ranging from 12-18 years old. This fundraiser earned the team approximately $1300, a huge help for one weekend of work!!

This upcoming weekend, on February 16th, the team will be holding their first annual golf tournament at Arizona National. After tons of hard work from Marti Larriva, tournament head, and all the girls, it seems that the tournament should bring in approximately $4000.
