MVC Raises Money for D.R.E.A.M.S.
This past weekend, the Mountain Volleyball Club (MVC) along with the McMaster University D.R.E.A.M.S. program, hosted the 13U Girls Challenge Cup at St. Mary Secondary School. All proceeds from the tournament went to the D.R.E.A.M.S. projects planned for the 2012 year.
D.R.E.A.M.S., the Dominican Republic Education and Medical Support group at McMaster, is a student organized trip that travels to the Dominican Republic to build homes and bring medical and educational supplies to the remote villages surrounding the town of San Jose de Ocoa. MVC has worked with D.R.E.A.M.S. in the past, collecting medical supplies at OVA tournaments and then forwarding them via the D.R.E.A.M.S. participants. This year, McMaster University will be sending two service trips on Reading Week in February and then again in May.
Special thanks to all those athletes and parents that supported the program by purchasing food and drinks from the concession.
