GObeachfest events provide valuable exposure and increased business opportunities for local communities of host destinations. Albert, in association with the Dig4Kids Foundation, has implemented community outreach programs to provide the equipment and inspirational opportunities necessary to promote health and fitness programs on an international scale.
On the 2008 Turks & Caicos Volleyball Vacation, 2008 Gold Medaliasts (Phil Dalhausser, Kerri Walsh) and the Hannemann Events crew visited Clement Howell High School to commemorate the opening of a local youth center. Local Turks and Caicos youth had the opportunity to meet Olympic Gold Medallists and even hold Phil Dalhausser’s gold medal. Kerri Walsh eloquently spoke to the students and staff about following dreams, setting goals and achieving aspirations through dedication, commitment, and hard work. Students asked questions to the Olympians like, "What did it feel like to win a gold medal?" and "How do I become an Olympianl?"
The Hannemann Events organization, in association with league partner Not So Pro Sports, donated volleyballs and net systems to help grow the sport of Beach Volleyball in this country. Albert plans to continue the momentum of this successful initial outreach program and expand world widwide through GObeachfest!
