Kelly Vogt, a senior at Northern Kentucky University, pulled together sororities, fraternities and other organizations for a charitable kickball tournament Saturday to raise money for St. Rita School for the Deaf, Evendale.
Vogt started with her sorority, Delta Zeta, then spread the spirit among other groups.
"This is our first year, but we are going to try to do this every year,'' Vogt said. "I think it is a way of raising money for a good school, plus have fun at the same time.''
