WAKA DEOC - Thank you!


Thank you all for participating in the 2015 WAKA DEOC Tourney. By all accounts, Saturday was a great event and a fun twist on the 'normal' adult kickball conventions. It was incredible seeing everyone out there competing and playing under the modified rules. Most importantly, it was all for a great cause, as together, this small event raised over $1,250 for the American Cancer Society!
Congratulations to the HEART THROBS for winning the event! Also shoutout to Crushworthy for a strong day and run to the finals.
  • Make sure you give these guys a big thank you next time you see them. They came out and volunteered their free time to ref and without them, this event would not have been successful. Thanks Derek Patterson, Jeremy Smithey, Bryan Moore, Jose Fabila, Kyle Lewis, Ben Ottman, Mike Kern, Cory Pochop, Will McKendree, and Kristen Saunders. Buy them a drink at Tapp's on Wednesday night! They earned it!
  • Also want to thank the management at Paradise Ocean Club for graciously providing cover free entry to their all access area after the event.
  • BIG thank you to the captains of the teams. Without your leadership, the event would not have happened. Thank you for taking the additional responsibilities that come with organizing and recruiting the squads. Colleen Duman, Kelly Bennett, Geoff Morehart, Alex Jackson, Ryan SchmidBecki West, and all the co-captains. You all are the best!
  • Thank you to Rob Mendoza, Dottie Wentworth, Brad Kirby, Brittany Lahr, and everyone else who took photos and shared them. Lots of amazing action shots. I think the number of new profile photos on Facebook from this weekend is a testament to that!
  • Finally, another thank you for each and everyone of you who joined. I hope that this event exceeded expectations and that you enjoyed yourself on Saturday.
Be on the look out for a survey coming from WAKA later in the week. If you had a good time, and would like to see this event return in 2016, please take a few moments to fill it out and let us know! I would love to see the DEOC grow next summer, but will need feedback in order to do so.
Thank you all once again!
