No city outside the state of California has hosted more pro beach tournaments than Chicago, which will add one more to its tally when the 2017 AVP season concludes. Fittingly just as the summer closes on Labor Day, so too does this year’s AVP schedule, and what a way to end it! Chicago has consistently had packed stands and fierce competition with the Chicago skyline serving as a picturesque backdrop.

WHY DO YOU WEAR PINK?

Team up with us to bring hope to those fighting stage IV metastatic breast cancer.

Reaching our goal for The Side-Out Foundation statistically means more quality time for one individual living with stage IV metastatic breast cancer and their loved ones.

We are STRONGER TOGETHER. Join us and REMEMBER WHY YOU WEAR PINK

In our 10th year, the 32 teams of the Power of Pink Tournament are looking to raise both funds and awareness for Stage 4 Breast Cancer. The Side-Out Foundation sponsors clinical trials for ground breaking research to help people in the most advanced stage of this disease. Our funds go directly to fund these trials, as we are essentially creating time for these warriors to be with their families, and to help fuel their battle and we are excited to be a part of it. Since this is our 10th year, I am asking for coaches, and players to dig a little deeper, (pun intended) and try to beat our total from Last year. I want to put this Tournament on the map as one of the largest Volleyball fundraisers in the Country. I think we can do it.

I also wanted to bring attention to the tournament design for this year as it is our 10th year, you can see the 10 stars on the Design that represent the 10 warriors who we have recognized over the years. This year we are recognizing Mrs. Jenifer Farley, fellow art teacher and Cancer Warrior. Jennifer battled against Ovarian Cancer last year, and the Teal color represents her battle against one of the many heads of this terrible disease. Jenifer is a longtime resident of Hartford, NY which is one of our teams that has participated for years in our Tournament. Jenifer has also been a longtime supporter of our tournament, and we want to recognize her, and her battle to defeat cancer.

Please consider donating to one of the teams, as the coaches are very competitive, and receive a big trophy for the team that raises the most money. I thank you so much for your consideration.
