Sarah Fader, by a volunteer for the American Cancer Society organized the tournament. Fader said, “It is not only rewarding but having lost multiple grandparents to cancer I know I am doing my part to ensure that a cure is found.”
All playing levels are welcome and if you can't make it out for the event you can still support by buying a t-shirt; or if you aren't an avid volleyball player feel free to come cheer on the teams and volunteer.
