On Sunday, August 29, the MBA varsity hockey team along with many other young men spent their day in Waverly, Tennessee helping victims of the recent flood. The young men helped salvage homes that had been damaged by water, helped recover belongings from garages, yards, and homes, and all and all helped in any way possible for those who had their lives turned upside down by the flood. The following week, the whole MBA community came together to donate over $9,000 and a truckload if supplies for the victims of the flood. The hockey team asked each boy to help repair the lives of our neighbors, and MBA answered the call.
This event helped to open eyes to the real world and the harsh forces of nature. The men became grateful for the ability to help out every way possible, and giving a hand to those in need. The project meant extra for the MBA community as it was the childhood home of our very own Mr. Ferrell. To be able to help his hometown and his former neighbors brought the community closer and gave more meaning to the service they gave.
