On September 6th, the Dodgeball Club at UW-Platteville hosted the annual Tim Ebert Memorial tournament. Tim was a player on the UWP team that made a huge impact and with the scholarship in his name he will continue to make an impact. This event was able to raise over $1,000 and with that amount raised, we will be offering two scholarships. One will go to a current player on the Platteville Dodgeball Club and another to an individual around the league.
The selection committee received applications from players and came up with the following winners to receive this scholarship. The application asked individuals to explain their community involvement at home, their team, and the league as whole. The committee was looking for leadership skills, a willingness to help others, and further involvement in making the league a better place for current and future players. Let’s take a look at this year’s winners below!
Our first winner has been a part of the University of Wisconsin Platteville Dodgeball Club for two years and is in her sophomore year. In her second year with the club, she is currently the team’s treasurer. Tori is always working hard to be a better catcher and improving her throw. She makes her biggest impact felt on the court through her play calling. We congratulate Tori Sanborn as one of the winners of the scholarship!
The second winner has also been a part of her club for two years and is in her junior year. Kaitlynn in her second year on the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire Dodgeball Club is her team’s vice president. Kaitlynn has been working hard this season to rebuild the club and get their team to their first match of the season. She is a very welcoming individual to her teammates and is eager to get on the court and show what she can do. We congratulate Kaitlynn Moore as one of the winners of the scholarship!
We appreciate all the applications that we received and are excited to once again to be able to continue to provide this scholarship to continue to help individuals achieve their educational goals!
