St. Baldrick's Foundation | Conquer Childhood Cancers2022 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. .
