Volleyball 4 Cause Tournament



Bump, Set and Build with HYP!



HYP is on a mission – to further
the purpose of Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County. What’s that purpose?
To eliminate poverty housing and create a world where everyone has a decent,
affordable place to live.



This is an audacious goal, but
thanks to you – our volunteers, individual donors and corporate sponsors – we
are closer every day.

So, what’s next? We’re taking it
to the court—the volleyball court, that is! Partnering with SideOut Seattle
Volleyball Association, we bring you Volleyball 4 Cause on August 24th at
Mercer Island’s Park on the Lid.



All proceeds go directly to the
Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County’s community revitalization project in
the Federal Way Westway neighborhood. Many of you have volunteered there with
HYP – thank you! - yet the project needs ongoing support. Like all of Habitat’s
endeavors, the aim here is to actively empower communities and provide safe,
decent, affordable homes for local families.
