FAQ
Q: Why does it cost money to volunteer?
A: Your fee to volunteer covers the costs of the apparel and other items included in your volunteer package. As a 501(c)3, 100% of net proceeds from the tournament are donated to local children's charities. By covering our costs on volunteers we are able to donate more money to charity!
