25TH ANNUAL SEASIDE BEACH VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT BRINGS 10,000 PEOPLE- AND DOZENS OF VENDOR AND SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES – TO SEASIDE.

The Seaside Chamber of Commerce brings this popular event to Seaside for the 25th consecutive year August 11-13. The quarter-century old event draws participants – and exposure for Seaside – from all corners of the United States. Businesses interested in sponsorship or vendor opportunities should contact Chamber Director, Alan Smiles right away. According to Smiles: “We’re (Seaside Chamber) promoting the event ourselves this year, which gives us more latitude to create sponsorship and vendor packages for smaller businesses. Though we’re grateful to companies like Budweiser for stepping up as a major sponsor, we want our local businesses to benefit from this huge marketing opportunity as well. For a modest fee, local businesses can capture the attention, and dollars, of thousands of young adults – right on our beach!”

Past promoters of this tournament estimate the crowds on the beach to reach 10,000 each day of the 3 day tournament. The visitors include elite competitors, many amateur volleyball competitors and lots of spectators. National popularity of the tournament continues to grow, as enthusiasm for Beach Volleyball reaches an all-time high in the United States. Live broadcasts of the tournament will be made on Portland’s Jammin 95.5FM and Clatsop County’s KCBZ 94.9FM.

The Seaside Chamber of Commerce Beach Volleyball committee is coordinating this event and welcomes volunteers to join them. If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer, please contact committee chair, Doug Barker at 503-738-6391.
