Kickball for MS
Ninety-eight eighth graders played in the kickball tournament for MS last year, and this year’s tournament is expected to be much bigger.
For the third year in a row, students from Mountain Brook Junior High School will be hosting the Kick MS kickball tournaments to raise money and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis. Rising ninth graders will compete on Sunday, Aug. 14 at 1:30 p.m. on the recreation baseball fields at Mountain Brook High School. The 14 freshman members of the Spartan Council will serve as the team captains.
There will be an additional tournament in the fall for rising seventh and eighth graders.
Be on the lookout for fundraisers taking place in the community. Teams will not only be competing in the games of kickball but will be competing in fundraising as well!
For more information about participation, please contact Spartan Council Members Ann Vandevelde, Anne Carlton Clegg, Charles Nicrosi, Crawford Poynor, David Stone, Georgia Stewart, Grace Carr, Hallie Meadows, Harrison Hitson, Johnny Nathan, Key Foster, Libby Kerr, Sam Rysedorph, and Tess Patton.
If you would like to make a donation directly to the Alabama Mississippi Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, please contact Mary Emily Yancey at 813 Shades Creek Parkway Suite 100B, Birmingham, Alabama 35209.
