The event is
named in memory of Shannon Warren, a young girl from
Brigden who was killed tragically. The young lady
had a love for Volleyball and enjoyed following her
mother around to women's game. Shortly after her
death, many of her mother's teammates suggested holding
a volleyball tournament in her memory. In
2001 after 14 years the family handed over the reins to
the
Community Living Sarnia -
Lambton.
Director Earle Kilner became a co-convener at that time
and today he share's the duties with Norma Hills at
Community Living Sarnia Lambton.
Community Living Sarnia-Lambton (CLSL)
Community Living Sarnia-Lambton is
a charitable organization supporting individuals who
have a developmental disability and their families.
Proceeds from the tournament will support approximately
500 individuals and their families throughout Sarnia and
Lambton County. Due to government cut backs
programs like these depend on the support of fundraisers
like the "Shannon Memorial Volleyball Tournament."
