Scents and Sensibility


When you're not out honing your bocce skills, check out a great article, Scents and Sensibility, written by Sarah Chayes, founder of Arghand. The article provides great insight into how Arghand was founded and some of their early challenges, particulary in regard to funding. From the beginning, the generosity of individuals here in the US helped make Sarah's idea a reality. Today, Arghand is making a real difference in Southern Afghanistan, and there's still more to be done!


We're still looking for sponsors.
Get signed up and pre-register one free team before

Sponsorship Information



The Capitol Bocce Ball Tournament is just two months away!

We'd like to jumpstart activity by securing sponsorships and we need your help. Sponsorships will ensure that we raise enough funding to help Arghand realize its mission of weaning Southern Afghanistan off the opium poppy. It will also help to make the event a success!

We have two sponsorship packages, each listed below. Both will provide the donor with valuable exposure to a young professional audience through logo or name placement on event t-shirts, the website, signage and registration materials and press releases.

In return for your help in securing sponsorships, we are waiving the registration fee for teams that bring in sponsors at the $1,000 level.

If you would like more info or know someone who may be interested, email us at: ballsonthemall@gmail.com. You can also access the full package here. Cheers!
