Sometimes Success Tastes Like Dirt

The Mud Volleyball Tournament was a huge success! I knew it would be since we have such a dedicated, passionate, and giving staff. Seven teams formed from community groups and local businesses came out and splashed around in the mud for our cause. Everyone had a lot of fun and it really looked good for our organization.

In development, events are often hard to justify because they are time-consuming and often don’t produce a lot of revenue after all expenses are taken into account. However, events that run as smoothly as our tournament often boost the morale of the staff, increase visibility exponentially, and give the public a very positive association with your organization. Often, the $100/plate dinners that organizations put on to raise the big bucks simply don’t communicate the right message. For organizations like Habitat, Salt-of-the-Earth events like a mud volleyball tournament attract the perfect attention for the right reasons.

Enjoy these pictures from the event and have a great week doing great work! 

My puppy Macey even made it out!
