Fans will also have an opportunity to help their school’s team take home a prize. On game day, staff and students—as well as their families—can put on their spirit wear and pack the stands at Winston Campus, as the school with the most fans in attendance will receive a $100 Spirit Grant. Tickets are only $1 (children age 2 and under are free), and refreshments will be available for purchase at the event.
All proceeds from the Volleyball Charity tournament will be used by the District Fifteen Educational Foundation to fund programming throughout District 15 schools.
