About:
All the players on Modified through Varsity participated in the event. We had a full program play day where all three teams played back-to-back-to-back.
We were raising funds for the Sideout Foundation, a national organization that uses the sport of volleyball to raise funds for Stage 4 cancer research. 100% of the money we raised goes to the Sideout Foundation. We had raffle baskets, concession stand with special items, a shirt sale, etc.
On the day of the event all three teams stay all day to support one another and help with the running of the event from sales to the concession stand.
This is an event our program has undertaken since 2009 so there is a tradition of it happening. We have raised around $14,000 since then. It is a really special tradition and part of our program and its history. We often get alumni back to support the cause as well as attend the matches.
