PUTNAM — The Putnam Lions annual Volleyball Challenge grossed more than $20,000. It is the Putnam Lions’ largest fund-raiser of the year and all the funds raised are given back to the community during the Night of Giving in April.

The challenge was March 18 and 19. The coveted corporate traveling trophy was won by Putnam High School’s Team Pratt for the third year in a row. Putnam High School battled against KWP Associates for the win. In the competitive team games The Misfits won Division 1 and Waves Hair Studio won Division 2.  

The following competitive teams played March 18: B’s, Bumpin’ Uglies, Friends Without Benefits, Hot Mess, King Cadillac, Misfits, Safin Chipsters, Set To Kill and Waves Hair Studio.  March 19 teams included Frito Lay’s Chester Cheetah Spikers, Gerardi Insurance’s Scared Hitless, Kenyon Industries, KWP Associates, Putnam Bank and Putnam High School’s Team Pratt.

The event is truly a community effort with more than 60 sponsors.  The Lions thanked its Diamond sponsor, KARS of Putnam; Platinum sponsors Wheelabrator and Day Kimball Hospital and all of additional sponsors that donated to the event.  The Lions also thanked Tom Archambault from Archambault Insurance Associates who is the tournament director, the Putnam High School girl’s volleyball team, who refereed for the tournament and the Putnam Leos Club for helping with set-up and break-down.
