Saturday March, 3 AOII had a kickball tournament to raise money for arthritis. The tournament had teams of six people. Some of
the teams were Greek affiliated such as Kappa Kappa Gamma and X-Club. AOII even had two teams in this kickball tournament. However, this was an event not limited to the Greeks. There were some teams not Greek affiliated that showed up.

For teams to play there was a $60.00 entrance fee. There were concession stands to help raise money too. Things such as Gatorade and muffins were sold. The players got free donuts from Krispy Kreme. The teams played each other and by eliminating each other they were able to "strike out" arthritis. The event was a fun event. "People who played got really into it" explained Susan Sullivan. The winning team got a plaque. So which team won? It was X-Club who also won the Laps for Life a couple weekends ago. Good job X-Club! Second
place went to Kappa Kappa Gamma. There was also a spirit award which went to a team called "The Magic" which was comprised of
half Rollins students and half non-Rollins students.

The money is going to a foundation that is working on finding a cure for arthritis and it also supports both juvenile and adults that have arthritis. There is no cure for arthritis and it affects millions of people. This is AOII's main philanthropy. The event raised over $800.00 which included donations. President Duncan showed up, had a great time, and donated money as well. So what is the next AOII event to look forward to? Pie with a PI is coming April 11.
