About:
The athletes were only my 13 Varsity Volleyball players who participated.
The girls organized three separate fundraising events over the course of the season for various causes such as:
- A student at a local school who suffered a major life changing accident that has left him paralyzed- bake sale
- St. Jude’s Cancer Research for Children- gold bows handed out to any child who donates and bake sale
- Sparrow’s Nest and Breast Cancer Research – bake sale and raffle items
These group of girls are an amazing one led by seven seniors who took charge and made is their mission to give back as a team. They went out of their way to put together the fundraiser for each cause from start to finish. I have been coaching for 13 years and I can tell you that I have never had a team with such kind hearts and drive to help others.
They helped raise a little over $1,000 total for all causes combined.
