The entry fee of $25 will be donated to VOLO Kids Foundation. The VOLO Kids Founation's goal is to get every kid playing! Through our mission, we create community-based, youth centered spaces that provide a platform for youth mentorship, familial health and wellness, and communal well being. Each Volo Kids program removes barriers to athletic participation, such as limited financial resources and transportation. Programs are open to all kids, regardless of race, gender, or experience level
