Only 3 days in, and we’re already off to a great start! I’m so proud of my mom for organizing this diaper drive and thankful for everyone who has already donated. It’s encouraging to see our community come together to support local families.

We have the rest of August to keep the momentum going! If you’d like to help, you can drop off new diapers (all sizes) or wipes at the Downtown Pensacola YMCA (165 E. Intendencia St.) anytime during the month.

All donations benefit Healthy Families Florida, helping local families with one of the biggest ongoing expenses of raising a baby.

Every package—big or small—makes a difference. Let’s see how full we can make that donation box by August 31! 💛🩵 Marcy Beth Eskanos Lily Eskanos

💚🩵 We’re collecting diapers for local families this August! 🩵💚

The Max Volleyball is excited to partner with the Downtown Pensacola YMCA to support Healthy Families Florida with a community Diaper Drive!

👶 When: August 1–31
📍 Drop-Off Location:
Downtown Pensacola YMCA
165 E Intendencia St.
Pensacola, FL 32502

We’re collecting:
🩵 Diapers (all sizes)
🩵 Baby wipes

A pack of diapers may seem like a small donation, but for many families, it can make a world of difference. Every donation helps Healthy Families Florida provide essential support to parents and babies right here in our community.

Whether you can donate one pack or several, we’d love your help making this drive a success! Please share this post with your friends and family to help us spread the word.

💛 Small donations. BIG impact. Thank you for supporting local families!

Today we want to give a special thank you to Florida Man Volleyball Tournaments, Kristina Lewis, and every player who came out to support The Max Charity and help us raise money for childhood cancer research through Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research.

What many people may not realize is that this partnership came together late in the process, but Kristina stepped in and absolutely delivered. From organization and communication to tournament operations and the overall experience, she made sure the event ran smoothly from start to finish.

More important than logistics, she showed something that matters even more — she genuinely cared. She cared about The MAX, our mission, our community, and the impact we are trying to make through Rally.

To every player who signed up, showed up, competed, laughed, and played for a cause: thank you. You helped turn a volleyball tournament into something bigger than a day on the sand.

We are incredibly grateful for the support, and we are excited about what this partnership can become moving forward. We look forward to working together for many years to come and continuing to make a difference together.

A huge thank you to the Salty Rose at The Pensacola Beach Resort for being the best hosts The MAX has had to date. From day one, their team was welcoming, supportive, and made it clear that they genuinely cared about the mission behind this event and the impact of supporting childhood cancer research through Rally Foundation.

Hosting a tournament is one thing. Creating an environment where people feel encouraged, supported, and connected to the cause is something different, and they delivered on every level.

We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and cannot wait to continue working together as we keep finding ways to serve our community together.

Today at The Salty Rose: the community gathers to Play for a Cure in support of Rally Foundation and childhood cancer research. Join to honor Maxine’s legacy, enjoy beach volleyball on Pensacola Beach, and support families affected by pediatric cancer.

For years, Holiday Inn Resort has been a valued supporter of The MAX Volleyball Tournament and our mission to give back through beach volleyball and community impact.

This year, they are once again donating a 2-night resort stay to be raffled off in support of Rally Gulf Coast Childhood Cancer Research.

We’re incredibly thankful for partners who continue showing up for this event and helping us make a difference both on and off the court.

Thank you, Holiday Inn Resort, for supporting The MAX and the families Rally serves.
