Volleyball tournament to benefit YMCA kids' camp
NORWICH – The Norwich Family YMCA, in collaboration with several community volunteers, is making a set for the annual co-ed volleyball tournament.
For the fourth year, the tournament will help raise money for YMCA programs while giving volleyball lovers an opportunity to compete in one of the few local tournaments in the area. Funds raised this year will go directly toward the YMCA Kids for Camp summer program.
The tournament will be held at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, June 7, at Rotary Park located at 95 Cortland St. in Norwich.
“This is something a group of volunteers and volleyball enthusiasts have done for the YMCA for a few years,” said Norwich YMCA Executive Director Jamey Mullen. “They help raise money for a specific program each year, and it's something we really appreciate.”
At a cost of $100 per team of six players (and $130 per team with tournament t-shirts included), money raised goes a long way in helping the Y maintain its mission to develop sound body, mind and spirit of families and communities.
“As a volunteer organization, we are blessed with the support we receive for all events, especially when the direct benefits will be for kids,” said Mullen, adding that efforts to bump the goal of the YMCA don't go unnoticed. “We are thankful for this organization and their support of the Y.”
In addition to raising funds, players this year are also asked to donate a few items for the Chenango SPCA. The shelter is always seeking cleaning supplies, including paper towels, laundry detergent, dish soap, bleach, window cleaner, and hand sanitizer, as well as plastic toys for dogs and cats, cat litter, canned pet food, and bedding.
“Each year, this group looks for another organization in the community, in addition to the YMCA, that they can help out,” explained Mullen.
“We are delighted that they have chosen us to help,” said Annette Clarke, Executive Director of the Chenango SPCA. Donated items assist the organization in carrying out services that help connect sheltered animals to their forever home, she added. “We always need a little help and we feel tha
