Events

In 2007, the ISOO's first annual Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament was a great success.  Over 400 students participated in the inaugural event.  Additionally, ISOO also oversaw its first annual "Blitz Day" and "Camping on the Quad" events. 

In 2008, ISOO’s slogan was “Bigger. Better, Changing the Community.”  The ISOO's events lived up to their slogan.  The 2008 Rock, Paper Scissors Tournament drew over 900 participants!  Additionally, the ISOO added a fourth event to its charitable lineup with it's first ever "Illini Flight Competition."     

In 2009, the ISOO's executive board decided to focus all efforts on its annual Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament.  This decision paid off!  The ISOO's 2010 Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament registered over  2000 participants.  To put this in perspective, ISOO's tournament registered over 1/16 of the entire University of Illinois undergraduate population!  Additionally, ISOO's third annual "Blitz Day" and "Camping on the Quad" events were a great success as well.  

In 2010, the ISOO plan on increasing their registered attendance to more than 2500 and increase their donation to the Champaign and Urbana Park districts by $10,000. The ISOO would like to present their Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament on October 10, 2010 at 4:00 PM on the South Quad.

In 2011, ISOO is changing it up. Instead of a Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament we will hosting Camp ISOO, where students can act like kids, for the kids. At the event will be live music, a dodge ball tournament, a raffle, inflatables and much more for kids to enjoy. The location is at the Sixth Street Lawn from 12-4 on October 22. Buy your ticket before or at the event and get great promotions on the U of I campus, including Flat Top, Penn Station, Noodles and Company and much more. Everyone is welcome to come out and support a great cause! We'll see you all there! Remember, it's for the Kids!
