Thirteenth Ephrata Dodgeball Tournament Fall 2016
Dodgeball for Diabetes celebrated the thirteenth annual Dodgeball Tournament, crowning four champions for the Fall of 2016. The tournament featured thirty-seven teams comprising of over 242 players all of which came together to to have fun, while raising money for Juvenile Diabetes.
The Tournament, designed to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes, raised over $8,400.
The Champions of each circuit are listed below, but in my mind the real winners are the teams that raised more than the minimum required amount.
Locally one team raised $1,260 on their own, and for their efforts, members of "Royal Rush" received a bundle of dodgeball clothes and memorabilia. Also earning top honors in the Senior Circuit "Big Daddy and the Boys" raised $500.
Congratulations, and thanks to all that participated, and all that helped.
