Congratulations to STRONG ARMS for the win!

Thank you to all the team captains for rallying your team, and to each and every player for bringing their A-game, dodging, ducking, and diving with style! We hope everyone had a blast playing alongside us.

While we’re still busy crunching numbers of donations, we couldn’t be more excited to share those numbers with you and celebrate the incredible impact you’ve all made through this year’s Dodge for a Cause!

A huge shoutout goes to all those who’ve already donated this year. Your generosity is what keeps our mission alive! Dodge for a Cause plays a significant portion of our organizational budget, and your contributions ensure we can keep providing valuable fitness opportunities to underserved youth in King County.

Let’s give a round of applause to the Upower team and volunteers who handled everything from refereeing to scoring, ball retrieval, setup, and event planning. We couldn’t have pulled it off without you!

And let’s not forget to give a special shoutout to Isidro’s Food Truck and the amazing brews from Stoup Brewing. We hope you all will continue to support these minority-owned businesses.

Please reach out to me if you want to learn about ways to get involved with Upower.

THANK YOU!
