Volleyball tourney to benefit shelter

 A sand volleyball tournament is scheduled for 5 p.m. today at the sand volleyball courts behind High Rise.  

Participants will be asked to assemble four-person teams to compete in a single elimination tournament, with prizes will be awarded to the winning team.

The CSC public relations program joined with Friends of Pets, a local animal shelter, to host the event.

Donations will be accepted, including donations of pet food and supplies. Donors will be entered in a raffle for a chance to win additional prizes.

Public relations students Brittney Deadmond, sophomore of Rapid City, S.D., Carmen Brown, junior of Banner County, and Desiree Young, senior of Greybull, Wyo., came up with the tournament to help promote the public relations program as part of a group project for a class.

 “We wanted to incorporate a non-profit organization into the event to help by receiving donations,” Deadmond said.

Information about the public relations program will be available at the event.  The public relations program is offered as part of the communications and social science department.
