Humberview hosts Caledon Cup: Charity Challenge

December 23, 2015 · 0 Comments

The Humberview Secondary School senior boys’ volleyball team, along with the Humberview Athletics Council (HAC), recently hosted the other three Caledon high school teams in a small tournament to compete for the Caledon Cup (filled with chocolate) and bragging rights as the top high school team in the area.
The tournament was designed to also be a small fundraiser: each team paid an entry fee, and the winner earned the chance to name the charity to which the fees would be donated.
Competition was fast and furious, with close scores in every match of the round-robin. After the three rounds of play, which saw sweet sets, hard hits, big blocks, tough serves and awesome digs, the Robert F. Hall Wolfpack came out on top, just ahead of the Humberview Huskies, Mayfield Mavericks and St. Michael Thunder. The Wolfpack took the cup and reigns as Caledon Champ until the next challenge.
The boys chose to donate the $200 entry fees to the Syrian Refugee Fund set up by Westminster United Church in Orangeville which is sponsoring a family moving to the area in the coming months.
All four teams are to be congratulated for their inspired play and sportsmanship, as well as their generosity and humanity in donating the money to such a serious crisis situation. The HAC volunteers who set up and kept score, as well as Humberview teacher Kent Campbell and James Bolton Public School teacher Dee Trkulja, are also to be acknowledged and thanked for giving their time and expertise for free so that the tournament entry fee could be given to a worthy cause. Caledon is a great community, and should be proud of its schools, and their outstanding staff and students.
