34th Annual Mud Volleyball Tournament Raises $40,000
We are pleased to announce the results of the 34th Annual Mud Volleyball Tournament! What an exciting day– It was great to get back in the mud after a year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are grateful for sunny skies and 101 teams playing at this year’s tournament! The event raised $40,000 which will be used to help people with epilepsy and their families throughout Connecticut.
After a long day of muddy games, it came down to new teams in the final match,
Pass Up Ace Down and
Sugar & Spike. In the end,
Pass Up Ace Down dominated the final match to take home the trophy and title of Mud Volleyball Champions.
We were fortunate to have 8 $650 corporate teams supporting the event:
Aerocision,
American Veteran’s Construction,
Click Bond, Inc.,
InCord,
