SALT Plumbing backs Cedar Ridge volleyball with $1,000 platinum sponsorship

SALT Plumbing, Air & Electric has given a $1,000 Platinum Corporate Sponsorship to Cedar Ridge High School’s girls volleyball program for the 2026 season. The deal supports the booster club’s fundraising for team needs, player development and student-athlete scholarships.

Why it matters: - The sponsorship adds local business support to a booster club that funds equipment, player development and scholarships for Cedar Ridge volleyball. - The money helps a nonprofit that relies on dues, volunteer fundraising and business donations to keep the program running. - The support reaches a UIL Class 6A program, where outside funding can influence day-to-day team resources and long-term athlete opportunities.

What happened: - SALT Plumbing, Air & Electric announced a $1,000 Platinum Corporate Sponsorship for the Cedar Ridge High School Lady Raiders volleyball program for the 2026 season. - The company was recognized during Cedar Ridge’s Sept. 15 match against Lake Travis High School. - Brendan McCarthy, CEO of SALT Service Co., and Laura McCarthy, Permit Coordinator, accepted a commemorative plaque on behalf of the company.

The details: - The sponsorship supports the Cedar Ridge Volleyball Booster Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit tied to Cedar Ridge High School in the Round Rock Independent School District. - The booster club says fundraising provides financial resources for team needs and player development, promotes school spirit and sportsmanship, and supports athletic and academic achievement. - The club also maintains a scholarship program for student-athletes. - The corporate sponsorship program has Platinum, Gold and Silver levels ranging from $250 to $1,000. - Platinum is the highest tier available to local businesses. - The Lady Raiders compete in UIL Class 6A, the largest enrollment classification in Texas high school athletics. - SALTcares, the company’s charitable initiative founded by Melina Garza, directs the company’s time, talents and resources toward service. - SALTcares programs have included water heater giveaways and Whole Home ReDevice electrical safety giveaways for Central Texas households in need. - Recipients for those programs are selected through community nominations.

Between the lines: - The sponsorship gives SALT a visible role in a hometown school community where Brendan McCarthy and Laura McCarthy live and work. - The move fits SALT’s broader effort to tie its business identity to neighborhood-based philanthropy rather than one-off donations. - Booster clubs often need steady support because school budgets rarely cover every cost tied to competitive athletics.

What's next: - Cedar Ridge volleyball will use the sponsorship during the 2026 season through the booster club’s fundraising and support programs. - SALT is likely to continue channeling community giving through SALTcares and local partnerships across Central Texas. - The company continues to expand its residential services footprint across Austin-area cities while maintaining family ownership and second-generation leadership.

The bottom line: - SALT Plumbing’s platinum sponsorship gives Cedar Ridge volleyball cash support and gives the company another public foothold in the Round Rock community. - The partnership underscores how local businesses can fill gaps in high school athletics funding while building community ties.
