The Best Place for Sand Volleyball

The Best Place for Sand Volleyball Today, I did something extremely fun and all for a good cause. The registered student organization here on campus, Habitat for Humanity, held a volleyball tournament at the sand volleyball courts to raise money to build homes in Champaign County called Spikin For Homes. Sand volleyball is not just for the beach! I signed up with a few friends who love volleyball as much as me from my American Advertising Federation, a registered student organization, to play in the tournament. What was great is that 100% of the proceeds went to Habitat for Humanity. Team photo! The volleyball tournament took place at these three sand volleyball courts right by Memorial Stadium, the place where the Fighting Illini football team play. The volleyball courts are surrounded by a huge athletic complex full of soccer fields, football fields, basketball courts, and more. The complex is a great place to play if youre interested in participating in intramurals here at Illinois, as I always see students playing some sports out here day and night. Its also conveniently  located on campus, as its right by the Ikenberry Commons, a place thats home to many University Housing residence halls. What was also cool is that we played other registered student organizations. We played Phi Chi Theta, a business fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a social fraternity, and Alpha Omicron Pi, a social sorority. It was cool coming together with different types of organizations for the great cause that is Habitat for Humanity. My advertising organizations plans on doing a build with Habitat for Humanity this semester, so Im really looking forward to that because I havent done one before. Habitat for Humanity is just one of many philanthropy and volunteer organizations you can participate in at Illinois,  and I recommend finding a cause that means a lot to you. Now, Im going to try to get the sand out of my clothes and cellphone. Daniel Class of 2018 I’m an Advertising major in the College of Media. I’m from a northwest suburb of Chicago called Buffalo Grove. I chose Illinois because it was the first university in the entire world to offer an Advertising major, which is pretty cool!
