\nBelow you’ll find a note from Eric Wright from English 180B inviting you to be part of a great event. I’m going to up the ante a bit here and offer to cover the $50 registration fee for the first team from English 180 and\/or English 005 who signs up for this tournament. Paul.\n<\/p>\n
\nStudent Athletes For Equity (SAFE), an officially recognized club here at at UVM, is hosting an event on Thursday, October 5. They are bringing sit-down volleyball Paralympic champion Matt Glowacki to campus, who will be giving a talk entitled “Walking is Overrated” at the Patrick Gym from 6-7 PM.<\/p>\n Following the talk, SAFE is hosting a wheelchair basketball tournament as a fundraiser for the Northeast Disabled Athletic Association (NDAA). The NDAA is a non-profit organization that provides resources and opportunities for players of all ages and abilities to engage in various adaptive sports, including wheelchair basketball, sled hockey, handcycling, and adaptive sailing.<\/p>\n The registration fee for the tournament is $50 for a team of five, + $5 per person after that. I’d love to see a team of Canadian Lit students win this tournament. You don’t have to be a super athlete in order to play. All you have to be is willing to spare some time and energy.<\/p>\n You can get a group together and register as team, or individual students can respond to the blog posting to form a Canadian Lit All-Star team.
