#endbullying

We’re bringing volleyball communities together worldwide to set a world record on July 7, 2026 — the most people playing volleyball on a single day — while supporting Block the Bully’s efforts to prevent bullying. Block the Bully works to stop bullying through volleyball, storytelling, and community programs. Our focus is simple: helping kids feel safe, supported, and connected.

Donations to Block the Bully help us reach more people and keep our programs running. Your support allows us to speak at schools and volleyball clubs, produce helpful materials, and maintain our organization. We also support solid, established anti-bullying programs, including those run by first responders and community groups.

Free – Sign up to Host July 7th and or schedule a Block the Bully Fundraiser anytime.
