Ann Storck Center Hosted its 40th Annual All Heart Volleyball Challenge

Ann Storck Center – a Fort Lauderdale-based private nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, hosted its 40th Annual All Heart Volleyball Challenge on the sand in Pompano Beach.

More than 130 players in attendance bumped, set and gave back to support the Center’s mission throughout all its programs and services to discover ability and build independence so that individuals live happier, more independent, fulfilling lives. The annual event raised over $10,000 and awareness for the Ann Storck Center, which accommodates 96 permanent residents and serves more than 300 clients daily through an array of critical care, learning and ability-focused programs.  

Players enjoyed a fun-filled day of volleyball, tournament shirts, branded swag, music, raffle prizes, lunch, dinner, beverages and more. Supporters played in co-ed 6’s volleyball teams in the beach volleyball tournament in competitive or recreational divisions. 

“We are thankful to all those who attended the 40th Annual All Heart Volleyball Challenge on Pompano Beach,” said Ann Stock Center CEO Patricia (Pat) Murphy. “Seeing our community come together to support Ann Storck Center and the individuals we serve is a reminder of the strength, compassion, and spirit surrounding our mission. The inspiring day on the sand wouldn’t have been possible with our incredible board, donors and families who are dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults with developmental disabilities so they can discover ability and build independence so that they can live happier, more independent, fulfilling lives.”
