Anchor slam participants played three on three basket ball to support service for sight. Service for sight is a charity that helps the blind and visually impaired and raises awareness in communities.

Ballin' for the Blind

The OU pool is currently closed because of renovations causing the Delta Gamma philanthropy event, anchor splash, which utilized the pool to be turned into the first ever anchor slam, which took place in the Huston Huffman instead.

Anchor slam is a three on three basketball tournament in which teams from different sororities and fraternities entered a double elimination boys or girls bracket. The winners of the girls bracket received a basketball signed by OU women’s coach, Sherri Coale and the winner of the boy’s bracket received a basketball signed by OU men’s coach, Jeff Capel. The event benefited service for sight, which is a charity that aids the blind and visually impaired by providing services and raising awareness of the cause.

“Since this is the first year of anchor slam replacing anchor splash we were really nervous about its success but the support and turnout has been great,” said Ashleigh Koerner, co director of anchor splash.

Anchor slam will continue to replace anchor splash in the future as a part of the Delta gamma’s annual philanthropic effort.
