----------

An Alpharetta church is organizing a dodgeball tournament to help fund an organization’s quest to lend a helping hand to others in need.

The 2015 Dodging For a Cause will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 23 at Restoration Church, which is at 410 Rucker Road.

A maximum of 40 teams (no more than eight players per team) can participate. Registration is $100 per team, and all proceeds will benefit Restoration ATL.

Restoration ATL works to ”create urban ministry environments that foster God’s restoration, building the Kingdom within and through His children,” according to the event’s website.

“Our goal is to bring individuals from all walks of life together for a unique and interactive mission experience, where both physical and spiritual restoration are received by all,” the organization continues. “We believe ministry and worship that unite young people from disparate socioeconomic backgrounds will inspire transformation and advance the Kingdom in Atlanta and beyond.”

Players must be 12 years or older to participate, and each player will receive a T-shirt commemorating the tournament.

A $300 cash prize will be awarded to the winner, and team prizes will be awarded based upon Best Team Spirit, Best Team Uniform and Best Team Fundraising.

For more information, call Pastor Nick Roberson at (770) 570-2855, Outreach Coordinator Chris Lee at (678) 983-8645 or email info@dodgingforacause.com. More details about tournament rules can also be found on the Dodging For a Cause website.
