CLEARFIELD – The Skills USA Student Leadership group at the Clearfield County Career and Technology Center continues in support of local charity, REST Inc., by offering an upcoming “United for Families” Volleyball Tournament Fundraiser at the Curwensville Area High School.
Each year, this youth leadership group takes a local charity on to support its cause and raise funds for the charitable work.
The Skills USA group first decided to support REST Inc., in 2021 by bringing awareness to the community about the needs of kinship families and helping to organize the charity’s first annual Kinship Family Christmas party.
REST Inc., a local non-profit charitable organization, is dedicated to supporting informal kinship families in the area.
The ”United for Families” Volleyball Tournament begins with registration of teams at 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 26, 2022 and admission is free.
This is a double-elimination tournament for players age 14 and older and teams of six to eight members. The cost to register is $10 per player, and teams can roster in advance by e-mailing team information to skillsusa@ccctc.edu and paying the team fee at the tournament.
Sixteen team slots are available but are filling up fast, so interested participants are encouraged to register as soon as possible. The top five teams will win plaques, and medals go to the Top 3 teams.
A 50/50 raffle, Chinese auction and concession stand will also be available to raise charitable funds.
The Skills USA team responsible for making such a positive impact on the local community consists of Raven Myers, Karley Framer, Chloe Rowles, Will Rainey, Lydia Swatsworth, Makenzie Hullihen and Tessa Reams. This incredible group of young leaders operates under the direction of Advisors Jerome Mick, Jennifer Kerr, Dan Kerlin and Susan Barger.
Anyone interested in learning more about REST and kinship families is encouraged to visit online at www.restfamilies.org and follow REST on Facebook.
Area businesses or individuals interested in sponsoring this fundraising event or providing a Chinese auction item can e-mail either the Skills USA group at the e-mail noted previously or e-mail REST Inc., restinc2021@outlook.com.
