THE CHARITY
This event is a charity event with the proceeds going to the Children's Organ Transplant Association (COTA) in honor of Savannah (Savvy) Anselmo, a 1 year old girl who needs a live saving liver transplant. The proceeds of the events will go to her transplant related expenses. The event is sponsored by COTA and my fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega. Information about COTA can be found at www.cota.org and more information about Savvy at www.cotaforsavannaha.com.
It will be held in College Park, Maryland on The University of Maryland's campus, in the Record Armory (right across the street from where East Coasts were a couple of years ago, for those who came).

EVENTS:
We are going to definitely have routines and circle. If people decide they want a sick 3, we can have that as well.
There will also be a net demo. There is no formal competition, but we will have a couple nets set up inside and a few outside of people to play on.
There is going to be a really small fee for everyone, like 3 or 5 dollars, but all of that money is going to COTA. This is not a prize money event, but there will be prizes.
The doors to the Armory are going to open at 12pm, and the event is going to start at 2. We have the space until 10 but I am cooking dinner around 7ish
CRASH SPACE
As far as crash space, my roommates have given me permission to take over the house during that weekend. It is not huge, but if you need crash space, everyone who will fit is welcome to stay here. The house is within walking distance of the sight. Also, my parents house (which is also in College Park) is available for people who need space. There are also hotels about 1 to 2 miles away from the sight. If you look that up, hotels on Baltimore Ave. would be most convenient location wise.
My address is 4815 Berwyn House Road College Park, MD 20740
OTHER FUN STUFF
-Friday the 21st Vince Bradley's band, Boxcar Collision, will be playing a show near College Park that night.
-Saturday night I will be making a home-cooked meal for all of the players who stick around.
-Sunday is Easter, so I don't know how that effects people's travel plans, but if you will be around my Grandmother is inviting all the footbag players to Easter lunch (let me know before hand if you think you'll be here)
This is my first event but I know it is going to turn out really great and be a blast. I have people who are experienced in running tournaments who are willing to help me out (thanks Vince, Ken, and Ted!). Also, Stephen Barnes from planetfootbag will be sending prizes for the event. Since it is a charity event, it is not exactly high dollar so if anyone would want to donate something for the event (bags or other prizes, MCing ability, use of sound equipment, judging events) that would be amazing.
I can't wait to see you all there!
