Dear Stars Carolinas Family, We have an incredible opportunity right outside our doors at The Luke . Our vision is to build a 4-court beach volleyball complex  that will elevate our entire Stars program and take athlete development to the next level.  This complex will be right outside our side doors. This facility will allow us to: Train in multiple surfaces  year-round, sharpening balance, explosiveness, and control (I'm sure SMI will use it, as well). Provide elite-level training environments  for both indoor and beach athletes. Host beach tournaments, camps, and even adult leagues  that strengthen our volleyball family and help fund scholarships . Give our athletes a unique edge in college recruiting and all-around skill development.  Playing beach (and grass) is a huge advantage for those who have access.   Have so much fun in the spring and fall when the weather is perfect. To make this dream a reality, we need your help. We are asking each of our Stars families—and any friends, fans, or local businesses connected to you—to consider how you can contribute to the project.  For most of us, it will be through giving money.  The Helle family, for example, is committing $5000.00 for this project.  Every dollar that is committed will go directly toward building the 4 sand courts, drainage, lighting, and equipment that will transform the space behind The Luke into something truly remarkable.    At the end of the day, this project isn’t just about our facilities—it’s about creating opportunities . Our Stars beach complex will give our athletes a place to grow stronger, compete harder, and build memories together for years to come. Any amount ($10, $25, $100, anything) will help and if the majority of families who can would contribute, we would have the best beach complex in South Carolina.   LOVB Foundation, Inc. is operating through a CA non-profit public benefit corporation using fiscal sponsorship with Players Philanthropy Fund, Inc.
