About

The inaugural UC/Bella Kind Volley for Kindness Match at Union Catholic High School, is an event of great significance and purpose. This match will bring together Rahway High School and Union Catholic High School to celebrate and remember the remarkable life of Anabella Marie Giacobbe, known affectionately as Bella.

Honoring Bella

There will be a special ceremony held after the match to pay tribute to Anabella Marie Giacobbe. The Union Catholic Volleyball program will retire her number 8, ensuring that no other player will wear it again. This act serves as a lasting symbol of Bella’s impact, love, greatness, and kindness, which she brought to her community and the sport she loved.

Bella’s Legacy

Bella was a resident of Rahway, a former player for Union Catholic, and a coach for St. Thomas Aquinas. Her contributions to the community and her passion for volleyball are being celebrated through this tournament.

$5 Admission at door
