Hype 2026 Volunteer Initiative

At Hype, we believe sports are about more than developing athletic skill—they’re a powerful platform for building character, gratitude, leadership, and perspective. That’s why our Volunteer Initiative takes the lessons learned on the field a step further by giving our athletes meaningful opportunities to serve their community. Below you’ll find a growing list of volunteer activities designed for teams to take part in together, strengthening not only their teamwork but their impact beyond the game. If you have any questions or would like help setting up an event, please reach out to Anne Payne or Kara Nedderman.
