A few Points of Interest as we all start to get prepared…
- You have 10 days to adjust your team rosters. This year you can only add players until July 24th so we can take the weekend to get them set up and registered like everyone else. Captains come through me if this is required.
- The schedule for 2026 is available here: https://growlervolleyball.com/2026-schedule-preview/
- Volunteer sign-ups for Growler, GrowlHer, and Growler Masters are available… Please visit the following URLs to enter your preferred timeslots:
Big Growler: https://signup.com/go/GcjnXXj
GrowlHer: https://signup.com/go/rKSzUQG
Masters: https://signup.com/go/WDTYKSz - Jr Growler will be available Thursday
- Registration Update! We have some stragglers…around 40 potentially unregistered at the last check. We are compiling the full list, and I’ll email the captains the current state of affairs tomorrow (Wednesday).
- SARC “perks” for all 4 weeks will be back via AUCTION!!! You don’t want to have to worry about parking? You want a prime viewing location for your team to enjoy for the event??… “Bid” your way to that reality!! Our web guru is on vacation but stay tuned for the link :) This is under-utilized every year… Don’t miss out! The auction will be open until the Sunday prior to each event day.
- As always, Growler Gear beyond your player T-shirts will be sold… check the Growler Gear page for a sneak peak at what options will be available: https://growlervolleyball.com/player-info/growler-gear/
- St. Baldrick’s Stats: We are over 65K raised for St. Baldrick’s, which is a really great start! (last year we were at 62k when I sent this email).
- 15 Teams have already exceeded $1500; 17 have exceeded $1,000
- 4 teams have yet to initiate their fundraising at $0. There is still time… I myself haven’t sent my personal email yet.
- Of the 300+ players… only 148 have a St. Baldrick’s page, and only 80 have raised more than a penny. If we can get everyone involved, there is no telling what heights we can reach!!! Please encourage your teammates to get a page started! “Rally for 222” is underway!!
Come support our GrowlHer nation and join us for the GrowlHer Tap Takeover on Sunday, July 19th, from 5-8 pm! All tips and a portion of all proceeds from the evening will directly benefit St Baldrick’s, 5907 Triangle Dr, Raleigh, NC 27617
Great work done by Swamp Setters at the BottleRev 3 fundraiser last week… Last I heard, over $2,400 was raised!!
Thank you to all for all that you do for St. Baldrick’s and your support of the Growler! We look forward to an amazing tournament and can’t wait to get started! Please reach out with any questions or concerns! I’ll shoot another email out prior to the event concerning Night 1 specifics.
