COLORADO SPRINGS , Colo. (April 11, 2008) – USA Volleyball will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 1988 U.S. Men’s Olympic Volleyball Team’s gold-medal performance at the 2008 Dorothy C. Boyce Annual Awards and Recognitions Banquet, presented by Molten and co-sponsored by Mizuno, on May 22 at the Marriott Atlanta Marquis.
The awards gala, open to everyone on a first-come basis, starts at 4:30 p.m. at the Marquis Ballroom with a pre-banquet social and silent auction to benefit the USA Volleyball Foundation. The dinner will be served at 6 p.m., followed by the awards presentation.
The “Boyce Banquet” is held annually in conjunction with USA Volleyball’s Board of Directors meetings and prior to the U.S. Adult Open Volleyball Tournament. Various awards for service to volleyball in the United States are presented.
The 2008 Boyce Moment will include a video that celebrates the accomplishments of the 1988 U.S. Men’s Volleyball Team, which won the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea. The team was coached by Marv Dunphy, now head coach of the men’s volleyball team at Pepperdine University, and included Karch Kiraly, Craig Buck, Bob Ctvrtlik and Steve Timmons among other notable players.
