Mud volleyball games will raise funds for scholarship
Next Wednesday, April 8, is the final day to register teams to compete in the Hawk Mudfest ’09, a mud volleyball tournament hosted by Students for KU. The tournament will take place Saturday, April 25th.
Students for KU is hosting the tournament to raise funds for a new scholarship the group is sponsoring.
Effective for the fall 2009 semester, Students for KU’s Leadership scholarship will be awarded to a student who has stood out from others as a leader on campus. Students for KU is the Kansas University Endowment Association's student philanthropy committee, which serves to increase student awareness about alumni donations.
Sarah Phillips, assistant director of annual giving for KU Endowment, said many student scholarships came from donations by alumni, and it was important for students to see how that money was put to use.
“We wanted to host an event that could educate students while they’re still students why it’s important to give back,” Phillips said.
Registration is $15 per team, and the number of scholarships awarded for the fall will depend on how much money the tournament brings in.
