Oozeball is an annual
mud volleyball tournament held on the campus of The University of West
Alabama to benefit the West Alabama chapter of the American Red Cross.
In the fall of 1997,
two students at UWA began devising ideas for community service
projects for their fraternity. They arrived at a mud volleyball
contest, to be held the following spring. The first annual Oozeball
was a respectable success, bringing in some $400 for the Red Cross.
Each year, the event has steadily increased in popularity, and
last year, over 200 students attended Oozeball, raising over $500 for
charity. In addition, sixteen local businesses donated their support
to Oozeball. With the support of The University of West Alabama and
the city of Livingston, Alabama, Oozeball is truly a community-wide
effort.
Each
year, the American Red Cross helps thousands of people in need. Now,
the need for the Red Cross is more pressing than ever, and Sigma Pi
Fraternity is stepping up to help. Oozeball involves months of
planning and preparation. The result of which is a day of good clean
fun (ok, not so clean:). Sigma Pi Fraternity is committed to making
the 5th Annual Oozeball the most successful yet. |
