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.

We want to wish everyone involved with Dodging Diabetes - all of our volunteers, sponsors, players, refs and fans - a very happy holiday season.  We hope that everyone is looking forward to the upcoming tournament.  We also hope that in this season of giving, you might consider helping us to raise money for the 2008 tournament.  All donations are tax deductible and each one gets us one step closer to knocking out diabetes for good.

We’re excited to launch this blog to give you an inside peek into what goes into planning the tournament, who the planners really are and what the organization is all about. 

This year’s tournament will be on Sunday, March 2 at the Landon School in Bethesda, MD.  26 teams will compete in this one-day dodgeball tournament.

We founded Dodging Diabetes in 2005 to bring Washington, D.C. area young professionals, friends and family members together to raise money to fight diabetes.  We raise money through the generous support of our sponsors, players and volunteers at our annual dodgeball tournament in March each year. 100% of the money we raise goes directly to the Joslin Diabetes Center.

We’d love to hear from you about what you’re looking forward at the 2008 3rd Annual Dodging Diabetes Charity Dodgeball Tournament. 

 Registration will open in early January so stay tuned…
