During the event, players from the team auctioned off signed balls, jerseys, and other older team merchandise to fans looking to help send the team overseas.
“Me and one of my teammates were here about a month ago. We were talking to the owner and just talking about how we’re on the volleyball team and he brought up having a quick meet and greet just raising money for us and getting more people in the store for him.
