Hi team. Make sure to check your email and submit your nominations for the 2015-2016 Sports Clubs Awards Banquet. This is a great opportunity for the club to receive some recognition for all of its accomplishments this year, and the team awards typically come with cash prizes for the recipient club. All members are welcome to submit nominations. The deadline is April 4th.

 

Categories include Best Fundraiser, Best Traveler, Outstanding Service, Outstanding Individual Leadership, Female and Male Athlete of the Year, and Coach of the Year. Here are some stats from this year:

-Fundraising: Flip for a Tip ($1,761.22), Community Days ($250.00), Intrasquad ($1,121.15 excluding leotards), and Basketball program sales ($500) have raised a collective $3,632.37. We still have letter drive and leotard sales to go!

-Travel: The club traveled to Minnesota and Champaign for competitions already. We will also be sending 26 students to Nationals in Sacramento, CA later this year for an estimated $150 per person!

-Service: We have logged over 100 hours of community service between Homecoming 5K, Jingle Bell Walk/Run, Pond Hockey Shoveling, Second Harvest Food Bank, All Dressed Up, and Special Olympics.

 

For the individual awards, the men's and women's teams have done exceptionally well this year! Our women's team won their first ever competition at the 2016 Flippin' Illini Invite, and the men's team has grown to a record size. Nominate your favorite athletes for awards.
