2015 VBA Winter Raffle
Hello VBA Family,
We are very excited to announce our 2015 VBA winter raffle! This fundraiser helps to support our 501(c)3 non-profit organization and will give us a good foundation to kick off the 2015-2016 season. The contributions that we receive will go towards: Gym time, basketball, equipment and a cushion for every VBA team to be able to afford the more expensive team fees for travel tournaments during the season.
As we did last year, this is a great way to get credit for monthly dues! 50% of your total sales will go towards your monthly dues. Example: If you sell $300 in raffle tickets, you will receive $150 in credit that will go towards your monthly dues.
To be eligible for the 50% of raffle sales, you must sell a minimum of $100 worth of tickets. If you have any questions, please contact a VBA Staff member.
Also, if you have any prizes to add to the raffle, or if you know of anyone (or company) who would like to contribute to the prize pool, please let us know!
The 2015 VBA Winter Raffle will be held on December 19, 2015 (at the 13U/14U VBA Tournament) and will also be announced on our website.
The Top Prize so far is a Hoverboard/Smart Balance Wheel!*
The complete list of the prizes will be listed in the following link:
We will be distributing raffle tickets within the next week or so.
Please see your TM and/or coach.
As always, thank you all for your support!!!
GO VBA!!!
Sincerely,
-VBA Staff

WCE25 Rankings
I know that rankings don't mean much as they are only someone's opinion and do not measure how much our players/teams are growing and gaining experience. But I did want to share that the WCE25 has recognized some of our teams:
