In an effort to instill camaraderie among business school clubs – and do a good deed by the same token – SUSA hosted its charity volleyball tournament. Titled “Spikes that Save” by TerpAMA, the tournament brought together more than 40 Terps at La Plata Beach on Oct. 9, for a day of fun and philanthropy.
Each of the 10 teams that participated contributed toward UNICEF. The money is earmarked as part of a relief effort for those affected by the recent floods in Pakistan.
“The Community Service Chair thought it would be nice to support the floods in Pakistan because the country was not getting the aid that it needed,” said SUSA President Chris Corragio.
But putting the event together was far from easy. A big obstacle was a pure lack of interest.
“Some clubs were just uninterested, but that’s how it just is sometimes,” said event coordinator Brian Doyle. “Still, everyone appeared to have a great time. There are definitely some athletes in SUSA.”
Each team played intense and competitive games; but in the end, it was the Community of Aspiring Shareholders (CASH) who took the trophy home after winning a close match against the Phi Chi Theta Professional Coed Business Fraternity.
