CAT16 Continues to Grow: A Record-Breaking Year
Our 16th annual CAT16 Volleyball Tournament welcomed a record 28 teams and raised more than $40,000 in support of Blood Cancer United and our very own 1:12 Project through the newly launched Claim Your Crown Foundation. Returning vendors, the addition of the 10 Most Wanted Band, and incredible community support made this year's tournament our biggest and most impactful yet. To date, the CAT has raised more than $100,000 for organizations supporting individuals and families facing adversity.
Foundation Spotlight: Launching the Claim Your Crown Foundation
June marked the official launch of the Claim Your Crown Foundation, the charitable arm of NOVUS created to further our purpose of inspiring people to claim their crown through passion, conviction, and perseverance. Through transformational experiences, leadership development, and support for individuals facing adversity, we're excited to expand our impact beginning with the fourth annual 1:12 Project next January and many new initiatives to come.
Partnership Spotlight: Folds of Honor
NOVUS was honored to serve as the Official Apparel Partner of the Folds of Honor Rock & Jock Celebrity Softball Game in Nashville, outfitting players and board members in custom full-button jerseys across three commemorative camouflage colorways while also making the apparel available to fans. We also launched a limited on-field capsule collection celebrating America's 250th anniversary while continuing to strengthen our partnership with Folds of Honor chapters across the country.
Growing the Game: Pineapple HP
We're excited to welcome Pineapple HP as the newest volleyball program to join the NOVUS family. Led by four-time Olympian and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Lloy Ball, alongside Empowered Volleyball Club Director and USA Volleyball Beach National Team Coach Will Robbins, Pineapple HP has established itself as one of the nation's premier volleyball clubs through elite coaching, athlete development, and a culture committed to excellence.
As the Official Apparel Sponsor of Pineapple HP, this partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping athletes train, compete, and grow. As Lloy Ball shared, "We are always looking to partner with people who share the same vision we do, to be the best and uphold the gold standard. We have found that partner in NOVUS."
