Volleyball camp benefitting
the Nebraska & iowa tornado relief fund
Creighton Volleyball, Omaha Volleyball, and Premier Volleyball Club are joining forces to be “Nebraska Strong” and help those families impacted by the recent tornadoes.
Thousands of people in Nebraska and Iowa are in need of assistance as recent tornadoes have displaced families, destroyed homes and devastated communities. In response, United Way of the Midlands (UWM) has created the Nebraska & Iowa Tornado Relief Fund (NITRF). Join Us in assisting our neighbors in need following the devastating storms that passed through Nebraska and Iowa on April 26.
Creighton Volleyball, Omaha Volleyball, and Premier Volleyball Club are joining forces to be “Nebraska Strong” and help those families impacted by the recent tornadoes. This camp, open to any and all participants who fit the age requirements, will feature skills training and competitive game play. Instructors will include Creighton and Omaha Volleyball coaches and players as well as other special guests. Participants will receive a t-shirt and have the opportunity to get autographs from the players and coaches. We are asking for a minimum donation of $75 per participant. 100% of all donations will go to the United Way of the Midlands, who has a specific fund set-up for families impacted by the storms called the Nebraska and Iowa Tornado Relief Fund.
Help us reach our goal raising $30,000 for our incredible community!
