Lets Hop 4 A Cure!

This weekend UF students have the opportunity to be apart of something special, so special that it might even break a WORLD RECORD!

Sunday, July 21^st, the UF M.S. Hopscotch “Hopping 4 A Cure” Hopscotch Tournament for Multiple Sclerosis will take place at the Broward recreation center and they are hoping to draw their biggest crowd yet!

The event put on by UF’s Inter-Residence Hall Association (IRHA), costs $5 for admission and $15 to participate in the main hopscotch event. Admission includes food and other fun games such as foursquare, basketball and hula hooping.

Proceeds from the event will go towards college scholarships, caregiver support and alternative medical research for those afflicted with M.S.

This is a great event and I hope that everyone comes out for it so we can all be apart of this record-breaking fundraiser! Lets get hopping!  

Ran into some of the directors for this weekends event! So excited for them! 

My History With Sports

Growing up, athletics was something that was always very important to me and still is to this day.

In high school, I played both softball and basketball. While in college, I was able to keep playing through RecSports’ intramural programs. I have participated as a member of Zeta Tau Alpha’s soccer and basketball teams as well as Senate’s softball and kickball teams.

Being a part of so many sports teams I have learned to be a team player. I have learned how to help focus the goals of many and work with individual talents in order to accomplish one goal, a skill that has aided me here in my work as a Student Senator and now as Student Body President.

Tomorrow, I will be competing in Senate’s first annual philanthropy, Spike It With Senate! While I’ve never played volleyball, I am excited at the opportunity to play alongside my peers and have fun doing it!
