Why We Rally

Every day, countless animals across Texas are abandoned, left without shelter, care, or hope. At Rally 4 Rescue, we believe saving lives should be a community effort. We also believe it should be as fun as it is impactful!

By connecting Austin’s vibrant sports and live music scene to animal welfare, we bring people together through exciting and friendly tournaments, music-filled fundraisers, and grant funding to support local rescues and shelters.

Fun with a Purpose: How Sports & Music Drive Our Cause

Each year, we host two high-energy fundraising events—pickleball and volleyball tournaments—where competition meets compassion. With live music, community spirit, and a shared love for animals, these events bring people together to support local rescues and make a real difference. 

Every serve, spike, and song helps fund grants for rescue groups, provide essential resources, and raise awareness about pet adoption and responsible ownership. Whether you're hitting the court, enjoying the music, or cheering from the sidelines, you’re playing a part in saving lives.
