YALE VOLLEYBALL NEWS FALL 2015 Note from the Association Dear Alumnae and Friends, THANK YOU to each of you, as members of the association you were a huge source of support and a big part of the success for Yale Volleyball last year. You rallied in impressive numbers through the Drive for Elis Challenge and the results were truly impactful. While volleyball did not walk away with the extra $10,000 prize, everyone has so much to be proud of. Including the fact that we increased our giving participation by 14% last year!

2015 Yale Volleyball Head Coach Erin Appleman Greetings from Yale! As the summer winds down, preparations for the upcoming season are starting to kick into high gear. But before we get too far into the fall, I wanted to give a very heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in our “Drive for Elis” campaign by donating. We nearly tripled our total number of participants, and doubled our total amount raised. Although we did not win the extra $10,000, the campaign was a huge success and will be of great benefit to the program. Participation in these efforts, as I’ve written before, enables us to keep Yale Volleyball moving forward, to keep providing the Bulldogs with the experiences and resources necessary in a top volleyball program. We want to keep seeing Yale Volleyball making headlines, and your financial assistance helps us make that possible. Thank you so much for your support! Erin
