Set Smash Rally is coming: Get in the game

Get ready to rally your team, hit the court and support HIV stigma-free care – Set Smash Rally is coming in June!

What is Set Smash Rally?

At its core – Set Smash Rally is a one-day indoor volleyball tournament in support of Casey House, a specialty hospital in Toronto providing care for people living with and at risk of HIV. This isn’t just about competition (though there will be plenty of that), it’s about community, compassion, and coming together to make real impact.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Short, action-packed volleyball games
  • Fun skills challenges that keep the energy high
  • The chance to play alongside an athletic champion
  • A day filled with teamwork, connection, and celebration

Whether you’re diving for every ball or cheering from the sidelines – we can’t wait to see you there.

Why Set Smash Rally?

SET – A tournament-style day where community, competition and purpose meet.

SMASH – Yes, we are smashing a volleyball, but it is much more than that!

  • Stigma around people living with and at risk of HIV
  • Barriers to care, understanding and compassion
  • Personal and team goals, pushing ourselves to show up fully

RALLY

Rally for someone who matters:

  • A friend, partner or family member
  • A colleague or community member
  • You
  • Or simply for a belief in compassionate, dignified, and equitable care

Why We’re Playing for Casey House

Despite incredible advancements in HIV treatment, the need for specialized, compassionate care remains.

  • HIV is a chronic condition with no cure or vaccine
  • New infections continue to occur across Canada
  • People living with HIV are more likely to experience additional health challenges and social stigma

Casey House exists to meet these realities head-on. Casey House provides holistic inpatient and outpatient care that supports not only physical health, but mental well-being and social connection. At Casey House, every person is met with humanity.

How You Can Get Involved

Getting involved in Set Smash Rally is simple – it all starts with your team.

First, become a corporate sponsor. Every sponsor gets to enter at least one team in the tournament, supporting Casey House while creating a meaningful team-building experience. Learn how to be a sponsor or sign up your team by emailing Bonte at bminnema@caseyhouse.ca.

Once registered, assign a team captain. Your captain rallies the team, coordinates communication, and leads fundraising efforts.

Next, recruit teammates. Invite colleagues to join the roster!

Then it’s time to fundraise. Share your “why,” set goals, and smash those goals as a team.

Finally, celebrate on game day. Hit the court, cheer each other on, and enjoy a fast-paced day of volleyball, community, and impact.

Not playing? You can still make a difference by donating, sharing, or cheering on participants as they rally toward their goals.
