On Saturday, April 10, The Junior League of Harrisburg, Inc. will be hosting the third annual Volley for Kids fundraiser at the New Hope Church in Lower Paxton. Volley for Kids is a fundraising event where teams of all ages play a friendly game of volleyball. All teams submit an entrance fee of $100 to secure court-time, and each player collects pledges prior to the event. All monies raised through Volley for Kids directly supports Aaron’s Acres programming and the Junior League of Harrisburg. Income from the tournament especially aids in providing scholarships awarded to families in need.

Aaron’s Acres is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. The Aaron’s Acres program is a summer camp and year-long respite for children with disabilities, and is the only one of its kind in Pennsylvania.  At Aaron’s Acres, children have the opportunity to participate in a variety of recreational activities along with their peers.  These activities include the following: swimming, arts and crafts, music therapy and horseback riding. All of these activities are guided by staff in a rare one-to-one ratio.  The families enjoy special activities as well as sharing time with other families facing similar circumstances.
