The New Neighbor Interfaith Alliance pulled off an amazing Set Them Up for Success Volleyball Tournament Fundraiser on August 23, with eight volleyball teams, volunteers, and members of diverse faith and community groups coming together to help new resettled immigrants in Montgomery County.

Under blue skies, eight teams of recreational volleyball players battled it out inside the Inter-Demominational Church of God’s gym in the group’s second volleyball tournament fundraiser. The event also featured a raffle of 16 gift baskets, face painting, painting of peace rocks, a Community Emergency Response Team vehicle for tours, and a food truck by Beltway Bistro.
