Making A Difference—It Takes a Community

"No Attitudes Allowed" Volleyball is committed to making a difference in our local and global community. Along with plugging people into various social networks for good, our program does fundraising through monthly volleyball tournaments. Nearly $27,000 has been raised!

This page also lists several opportunities for you to learn about how you too can contribute to a better world. We love suggestions, too!

It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.
