Twelve volleyball teams converge on Roswell on Saturday, Sept. 26, for Blessed Trinity Catholic High School's Serve for the Cure Invitational.
The daylong tournament doubles as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Admission is free, and play runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the school's gym at 11320 Woodstock Rd.
Coach Paul Stevens created Serve for the Cure in 2008 while looking for a service project his players could rally around, according to the school's athletics page. That first year brought in $2,450. By 2017, the annual haul had grown to $8,497, the highest single-year total in the program's published history.
The cumulative total listed on the school's website stands at $70,057.
Varsity players make and sell handcrafted items at the tournament. In past years those have included pillows, blankets, picture frames and jewelry. The JV and Jr. Titan squads staff the tables and keep the event running.
The day also features a bake sale, a 50/50 raffle, an Honor Wall and a contest called Serve Up a Slice. Donations to the American Cancer Society are accepted at the door.
Tournament T-shirts cost $20, and students who buy one can wear it to school Friday, Sept. 25. The order deadline is Monday, Sept. 7, at noon.
The host Titans enter the tournament playing well. The 2026 varsity squad, coached by Ashley Woodward and Eric Hodges, had posted a 24-2 record through early September, with wins over Buford, Marist, Cambridge and area rival Centennial. The two losses came against East Coweta and River Ridge.
Blessed Trinity competes in Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Class AAAAA, Region 6. The program has claimed seven state volleyball championships, most recently in 2019, and reached the state Final Four in both 2023 and 2024.
The school has not announced the next regular-season home match date after the Sept. 26 tournament.
