Volleyball For CharitY
Volleyball for Charity was founded in 1981 by the Clark family in honor of their son, Robbie, who had physical and mental disabilities. The Clarks aimed to raise awareness and funds for organizations supporting individuals with disabilities. Over 35 years, they raised more than half a million dollars for these causes. In 2016, the Oak Lawn Park District, in partnership with the Special Recreation Athletic Support Association, took over the annual tournament to continue its mission in Robbie Clark's honor and support deserving organizations.
Volleyball For Charity (VFC) is a non-profit group that organizes an annual Co-Ed Volleyball Tournament and After Party to raise money for further donation to charity.
As of January 1, 2016, Kevin Clark (Founder of Volleyball For Charity) transferred all responsibilities to the Oak Lawn Park District in partnership with SRASA.
WHAT IS VFC?
In trying to develop a unique way of supporting the programs and care needed for their son, the Clarks decided to do something that brought enjoyment to many. Thus, Volleyball for Charity was founded.
