🏐 Join us to kick of Heart Month with our first annual volleyball tournament partnering with and supporting the American Heart Association and their fight against heart disease and stroke!
♥ Heart disease and stroke are leading killers worldwide. Many of us in the volleyball community and in our extended communities likely have personal stories of how we ourselves, family members, or friends have been impacted by heart-related health events. Second only to the federal government, the American Heart Association is the largest not-for-profit funding source for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease research - bringing our loved ones life-saving research and education to live longer, healthier lives. 100% of proceeds from this event will go towards the AHA's continued efforts to deliver on that mission.
If you are interested in supporting, donating, or sponsoring this event in any way, please reach out!
