Community support also is an important part of any program’s success, especially when it comes to supporting one of their own. The volleyball program coordinated the smAshley Dodgeball Tournament held in honor of former DMHS volleyball athlete, Ashley Anderson, who passed away in 2006 from a brain tumor. In a span of just 7 years, the program raised over $30,000 for SSBTR (Students Who Support Brain Tumor Research).
