The annual dodgeball tournament hosted by Pura Vida was held in the Main Gym this past Sunday, Jan. 9, from 5-8 p.m. According to team leader senior Catherine Betack, each ticket cost $19 which pays for 19 cent meals, feeding 100 children per ticket.
Catherine estimated that this event raised around $1,600 with 12 teams of six to eight people on each. The only requirement was that there be an equal number of boys and girls on a team; there was no age limit requirement. Many alumni came back to support the cause.
