ST. PAUL, Minn.- The University of Northwestern Volleyball team is thrilled to announce that their Aces for Joy campaign is returning once again this fall. For every ace an Eagle serves in the 2022 season, Aces For Joy participants will donate $1 to the Pals Family Foundation.

To participate in Aces For Joy, fill out the pledge card linked HERE.

This will be the third season that the Eagles are running the Aces For Joy campaign. UNW Volleyball raised $11,400 during the inaugural campaign in 2019, and raised an additional $9,996 for all of the aces they served up during the 2021 campaign. The Aces For Joy campaign has raised a total of $21,396 for the Pals Family Foundation. 

The Pals Family Foundation was founded in memory of 2008 Northwestern graduate and volleyball alumna Kathryne Pals. On July 31, 2016, the Pals family was traveling to their final training session in Colorado, prior to their long-term deployment to be global partners with the Christ Bible Institute in Nagoya, Japan. They were rear-ended by a semi-truck and Jamison (29), Kathryne (29), Ezra (3), Violet (23 mos.), and Calvin (2 mos.) departed to be with Jesus Christ.

The support raised by Aces for Joy provides grants to those who bring the gospel to unreached and unengaged peoples. Through the clear legacy that Jamison and Kathryne left, the Pals Family Foundation prayerfully and financially supports missionaries across the globe who have the same passion and vision as the Pals.
