We have our moments and certainly aren’t perfect, but when the rubber meets the road we’re there for each other. At the moment we are trying to get a community center built that we’ve been working on for years. We have so many fundraisers I am amazed we all aren’t broke by now! We pull together and always have a great time doing it.

Stories About Gustavus

In order for our student athletes to travel (volleyball is big here: State Champions in 2014 and 2015), we have fundraiser serve-a-thons, where each athlete has to land 50 serves inbound. It’s amazing they earn so much money from a community that’s basically a summer tourism town.
