Rule update - each team must have ONE female

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Ok, we hear you, I know many of the teams are struggling to get two girls to play on the teams SO, we’re changing the rule to require that teams have at least ONE female on the team.

 Also, if you’re still struggling to find a female player for your team - or any players for that matter - let us know.  We have extra players who would love to play so let us know if you need help putting a team together. 

 Sign up soon, space is filling up fast!

Hope you’ll be able to listen to Kevin McCarthy’s show on 106.7 FM WJFK this Sunday.  He’s going to give a shout out to Dodging Diabetes on his 5 pm EST show.  Thanks, Kevin!

Only 33 days left till the tournament!

Make sure to sign your team up today. We still have some spots left but we will sell out sooner than you think.  Remember this year’s tournament is earlier than last year.  You only have 4 weekends left for training.  Sign up at www.dodgingdiabetes.org today!  (Make sure to collect the e-mail addresses and T shirt sizes of all team members to register.)

Set up your own fundraising page!

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

One of the most exciting changes to dodgeball this year is the opportunity to set up your own fundraising page. Teams and individual players will have their own page, but ANYONE can set up a page through active.com to send to friends and family for fundraising. 

If you want to set up a dodgeball fundraising page (100% of donations go directly to Joslin) follow these steps:

1. Click “Click here to donate to Dodging Diabetes 3rd Annual Dodgeball Tournament” This will open a new window.

2. At the top of the page, click: “Become a Fundraiser” then “Fundraise as an Individual”

3. Follow the instructions to customize your fundraising page and email the finished product to your friends and family.
