Dear Family and Friends,

I’m beyond excited to share that I’ve been invited to compete in the World Championship Para-Beach Volleyball Tournament this October in Turkey - one of the few opportunities for elite adaptive beach volleyball players to play on a global stage.

With my teammates Kyler and Andrew (see below), we have a team that I truly believe has a legitimate shot at winning. While I haven’t competed in a BPV World Championship yet, I’ve had an incredible last few years of hard work, growth, and opportunities in beach volleyball, earning my spot as one of the top-ranked adaptive players in the sport.

Though Beach Para Volley didn’t make the cut for the LA 2028 Paralympic Games, we are still hopeful it will be included in the 2032 Brisbane Games. I want to do everything I can to help make that happen, and the best way I can contribute is just by showing up to tournaments like these.

In order to get there, we need your support!

We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to cover:

USA Volleyball will cover our tournament entry fees, but other costs fall entirely on us.

I really appreciate your support, whether financial, emotional or just spreading the word. I’ll be sure to keep everyone up to date on our progress - to see more regular updates, follow me on Instagram or Facebook .

With love and gratitude,

Abram

Hi, I’m Andrew, and I’m raising funds to support my journey with team USA Beach Para Volleyball. I was born with cerebral palsy, a disability that affects my muscle control and movement. As a child with a disability it made me shy, reserved and full of self doubt. However, through hard work and determination, I’ve found strength and purpose in this sport that I love.

Volleyball is a huge part of my life. I have made lifelong friendships on the sand and beyond. I’ve been given the opportunity to coach indoor volleyball at the high school where I teach. I love to play and help others play volleyball. I am honored to have the incredible opportunity to represent the United States on the sand, with two of my friends. It’s a dream come true, and a chance to show others that no matter the challenge, anything is possible.

Competing at this level means covering expenses like travel, training, equipment, and tournament fees, and that’s where I need your help. Your support means more than just funding a trip; it’s helping me break barriers, inspire others with disabilities, and proudly wear red, white, and blue on an international stage.

Thank you for believing in my journey. Every contribution brings me one step closer to the court and one step closer to making a lasting impact.

My name is Kyler Moore and I am trying to go to Türkiye to compete in the World ParaBeach Volleyball Championship.

I’ve been an amputee for 10 years now and 8 of those years I’ve been playing volleyball. Thanks to a friend in the beach volleyball world being at one of my high school tournaments by beautiful chance, I was introduced to a different world of volleyball I hadn’t seen with sitting volleyball and then the development of beach. Sadly the beach scene has yet to enter the Paralympics but hopefully someday soon.

For now there are tournaments every so often and this is one of them, a world tournament. I would love your financial help and love and support, to go to this tournament and play some beach volleyball and rally this world of athletes till some of us are in the Paralympics. Thank you much!

With peace and love,

Kyler
