About:
Both Jv and Varsity participate in this event, so that is about 28-30 players (12 varsity, 15 JV). They help set up tables, decorations, donations, between set games.
We raise funds through our campaign page with the Side-Out Foundation. The link is below. We also have bake sale tables, concession stands, auction baskets, shirt sales, and between set games where winners can get a shirt or gift card. We have a QR code where people can go right to our page and donate.

The players easily putting in 10-12 hours of work between setting up the night before, the day of, and during both JV and Varsity games.Maybe even more than that if you consider the time they put in to create posters, make auction baskets, and get raffle donations.
We use the side-out foundation to fundraise because their story involves volleyball. The man that founded it lost his mother to stage four breast cancer and decided to have a “Pink Out Game” (Dig Pink) to raise money. When the side-out foundation was made, the money went to research for those with metastatic breast cancer (stage 4), which may not cure someone with breast cancer at that stage, but it will give them some more time with their loved ones. Everytime someone raises $2000 it pays for one patients’ treatment. This is why we try our best to raise between $3000 and $5000 each year. The past two events we have hosted, we have won philanthropic awards for raising more than $1500 in one campaign.
