Taylor Tankersley organized a senior project called T.U.F.F. (Tank's Ultimate Frisbee Fundraiser), an ultimate frisbee tournament to raise money for Samaritan's Purse. The tournament faced obstacles like finding a field, getting business donations, and teams committing. On the rescheduled day, Taylor split people into three teams who paid $5 each, raising $110 total for charity. Through this project, Taylor learned how to manage a big event and cope with unexpected problems.
