Volley-Ween 2025 is Here!

Join us for the 4th Annual Santa MoniCARES Volley-Ween Tournament and Fundraiser on Wednesday, October 29th, 2025 for a fun afternoon of games, food, friends and supporting a great cause!

Enjoy entertainment, a tasty meal, quenching beverages, a friendly volleyball tournament, a Halloween costume contest and more at Perry’s Beach Cafe & Rentals (2400 Ocean Front Walk). Buy tickets for yourself or your 2, 4 or 6-person team to attend the mixer, play in the volleyball tournament, enjoy delicious bites and have a scarily good time in the sand! Do you have to play volleyball (or be good at it) to come? No way! You can come just for the mixer, or you can participate in the volleyball tournament at any skill level.

All proceeds will go towards Santa MoniCARES and its charities.

To sponsor the event, please email cares@santamonica.com.
