MISHAWAKA– Many in­di­vid­u­als know about the on­go­ing war that is oc­cur­ring in Ukraine, and they may want to know how they can pro­vide the peo­ple of Ukraine with aid. To help with this, there was a vol­ley­ball tour­na­ment fundraiser tak­ing place at Bethel.

Michelle Moraitis, a se­nior at Bethel, helped plan the tour­na­ment. She ex­plained that she hoped peo­ple would be able to en­joy the event.

The vol­ley­ball tour­na­ment took place on Sun­day, April 10, and was held in the Good­man gym. Any­one was able to at­tend the event and watch the teams that had en­tered play vol­ley­ball.

There was a raf­fle go­ing on for peo­ple who have do­nated and there was also pizza, games, and mu­sic for in­di­vid­u­als who at­tended to en­joy.

Teams were able to sign up us­ing a QR code that was made avail­able for stu­dents to scan. 

Moraitis said “I want peo­ple to feel en­cour­aged to do­nate be­cause of their [Ukraine’s] dire sit­u­a­tion and their friend­ship with Vlada.”

Any­one look­ing to do­nate to­wards the sit­u­a­tion in Ukraine can scan the QR code that Bethel has sent out and made avail­able or give cash di­rectly in the Stu­dent Life of­fice.
