ST. LOUIS - TelAve -- Today All Volleyball proudly announces the first two recipients of the #VolleyStrong fundraising campaign.  The two heroes, each nominated by their wives, are frontline workers against the COVID-19 pandemic.  Todd Unger is the director of food services for Gritman Medical Center in Moscow, Idaho.   Marc Sandoval is the captain at a fire station in Houston, Texas.

All Volleyball Inc. is finding a way to give back to people and families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  The #VolleyStrong campaign is funded by a percentage of the sales from the #VolleyStrong line of merchandise available on the All Volleyball website.  All Volleyball Inc. sent $500 via PayPal to each of the recipients as a thank you for the vital work they are doing and the sacrifices they and their families are making during these troubling times.

"The idea is simple, but it's a big idea," said Corey Lawson, president of All Volleyball, Inc. "We are creating a movement within the volleyball community to take care of the volleyball community.  Our heartfelt thanks go to all of the people going above and beyond to serve others during the COVID-19 pandemic.  We are happy to recognize Todd Unger and Marc Sandoval as heroes."
