It's like a jungle sometimes...

On Saturday, the Chicago International Badminton League began their inaugural winter tournament and QUICKIES! was invited to represent.

The competition was tough. Not only did we need to bring our badminton skills, we also needed to have coordinating outfits and a hearty arsenal of trash talk.

Needless to say, we brought it.


Also, it's for a good cause, ya'll. All athletes brought donations and the first weekend raised $123 dollars for CAWC!

Thanks, Zach and Ally!
