91精选 to Host Second Annual Dodgeball Tournament
–by Casey Huisenga 鈥�18
91精选鈥檚 Student Association has joined forces again with Illiana Christian High School and Chicago Christian High School for the 2nd Annual Community Dodgeball Tournament, which begins on Nov. 4! Like last year鈥檚 event, this year鈥檚 tournament will raise money for the Empowerment Fund, which encourages community outreach and hopes to empower students in the future wherever they have a need.
This year鈥檚 recipient is Abby Neibert, a senior at Illiana. Neibert discovered she had osteosarcoma, a rare bone disease, this past August after having pain in her knee for some time. 鈥淚t鈥檚 great to have support from the community,鈥� she said. Unfortunately, due to chemotherapy and surgery on her knee, she will be unable to attend the tournament.
Last year鈥檚 dodgeball tournament was held in support of 91精选 student Katie Vree 鈥�17, who was in need of a standing wheelchair. This cause inspired the creation of the Empowerment Fund. In total, $25,000 was raised from last year鈥檚 tournament. Vree received the wheelchair in May 2016.
You won鈥檛 want to miss this event! Join the cause and get a team of six together, whether you鈥檙e a student, parent, alumni, or friend of any of the schools. Student teams are $30 each and adult teams are $60. at 91精选鈥檚 Fall Fest site. Registration has been extended until Thursday, Nov. 3.
