2022 was a Milestone year for us. We raised over $175,000 for St Baldrick’s Foundation, making Growler the #1 SB fund raising event in NC and #12 overall in the nation.
Our “Rock the Bald” Event was outstanding, Raising $6,076 that night for those shaving for the cause.
Since 2011, Growler has raised over $890,000 in total donations for St Baldrick’s. 2023 will be a special year as we expect to exceed the ONE MILLION mark.
Thank you to all of the sponsors, players, volunteers, attendees and teams who make this 4 week volleyball event a success. Your time, effort and generosity does not go unnoticed. .
