Local Residents Invited to “Dodge” Cancer in Orange County

Two tournaments for kids and adults mix fun with fundraising to support Relay For Life

New Windsor, New York (February 16, 2017) – Kids of all ages are invited to dodge the winter

doldrums and come to an old-school style dodgeball tournament on Saturday evening, April 1

at Capelli Sports at 1741 Route 17A in Florida to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay

For Life.

“In its third year, the Duck Dodge Donate Dodgeball Tournament is a unique and

fun way to get out of the house, meet new people or get together with friends or coworkers outside of the workplace,” says Heather Smernaos of the American Cancer Society.

Tax deductible donations of $20 per person ($10 for kids under 14) will guarantee play at least twice throughout the evening. The youth event is 5:30-7pm and the adult tournament is 7:30-9pm. Teams of friends can join together or individuals will be placed on teams for each game. Prizes will be awarded.

To reserve your space, please send your name, email and phone number to Heather Smernaos at heather.smernaos@cancer.org or call 845.239.6087 for more information. People can register and donate online at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/WyattsWarriors.

The event supports Wyatt’s Warriors, a team involved in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Goshen to help save lives from cancer. The Relay For Life movement is the world’s largest fundraising event to fight every cancer in every community, with four million participants in 6,000 events worldwide in 2015.
