AVA Supports the Side-Out Foundation to BEAT CANCER - We need your help!!


Coach Suzy writes:
You guys all know how I feel about community service and promoting causes that allow a better life for others around us.

If you don’t, well, I LOVE HELPING PEOPLE!
That’s why I wanted to announce AVA’s partnership with the Side-Out Foundation!
The Side-Out Foundation is an organization that is working to battle cancer.  The organization works closely with volleyball teams at all levels, including high schools, middle schools, and even colleges.

The money this organization raises goes 100% to cancer research.  I am sure most of us have lost someone to cancer or know someone who has.  I wanted to take this opportunity to join their campaign “1000 Strong.”  They are trying to get 1000 teams or groups to donate $250 to meet their goal.  I wanted to let everyone know that I am opening this up for our club.  I want AVA to be part of  the 1000 strong in battling cancer.  They will be setting up a website for our club as well!  If you are interested in donating, please email me at suzy.boulavsky@avatexas.com !

Thanks, and let’s do something great in our community!

About the Side-Out Foundation

The Side-Out Foundation (Side-Out) was established in 2004 to unite volleyball players and coaches and to have them work toward the common goal of furthering breast cancer awareness, education and patient services. Side-Out supports teams nationwide in their volleyball tournaments, clinics and other fundraising efforts. The foundation offers practical support for fundraising in addition to educational material for participants in order to help them become effective advocates for breast cancer. We contribute the funds to organizations that serve breast cancer patients, whether it be in the form of research, medical services or compassionate support.
The term side-out refers to a situation in volleyball when one team wins a point while its opponent is serving, thereby regaining serve or control of play. It is hoped that this Side-Out will do the same for breast cancer patients, providing them with the support, education and best available treatments to regain control of their lives.
