*SS. In 2,000 characters or less, describe the measurable outcomes you aim to achieve with these funds.
Objective #1: Create an annual volleyball event that will boost the economy of the Big Island, our previous two labor Day Classic volleyball tournaments was limited to
24 teams. Although our goal for 2024 was 32 teams, we were able to secure 40 teams, 27 from the mainland and 11 of our top teams from within the state. Everyone
in the Visitor tourist Industry benefited. Hotels were almost completely booked, retail vans were difficult to secure, restaurants we packed and our local stores busy. The
influx of 40 teams, their support staff and parents, spending a minimum of 5-7 days in Hilo undoubtedly help boost our local economy. Objective #2: Foster Volleyball
growth and education for our youth. Our Hawaii teams from around the state had a unique opportunity to experience, learn and compete against some of the highest
level of high school volleyball completion in the state. A huge advantage is that our Hawaii Teams didn't have to leave the state, instead top competitive teams come to
us. Our Hawaii Teams from around the state has a unique opportunity to experience competition against highly ranked teams from across the USA, without having to
leave the State. Tournaments to the mainland is the primary way our top Hawaii teams seek the best competition. With the Labor Day Classic, our Hawaii teams need
only travel inter -island to compete with the best, allowing schools with smaller budgets to still participate in a high-level tournament. Objective #3: To grow the
tournament from 24 teams to 32 teams by year 2026 and back to 40 teams in 2027. Over 10 teams from last year's tournament have secured spots for this year's 2025
Labor Day Classic.
*56. For the project you are applying for, do you currently have or expect to have a contract/agreement with another department of the County of Hawari during the
upcoming fiscal year (July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026) related to this same project?
