The event will also feature a major donation drive for canned food and gently-used clothing and sporting equipment. The food and clothes will be donated to the Phoenix Homeless Shelter, while the sports equipment will be refurbished and distributed by Paladin Sports Outreach to San Tan area youth and organizations who serve local youth. Individuals who donate will be eligible for prizes.
Registration for the charity tournament is now open to 16 adult men's softball teams. The entry fee is $20 plus a donation of 10 canned foods, per player; only team registrations will be accepted. Players are encouraged to "swing for the fences" as a monetary donation will be made to Paladin Sports Outreach for every home run (tater) hit during the tournament games.

San Tan area residents will once again dip, duck, dive, and dodge to raise money for local charity this Summer. Dodgeballapalooza 2011, Paladin Sports Outreach's annual Charity Dodgeball Tournament, will be held Friday, August 19th - Saturday, August 20th at Barney Family Sports Complex in Queen Creek.
In its third year, this unique San Tan area event continues to generate quite a buzz in the community. Paladin Sports Outreach believes that Dodgeballapalooza is a unique event with widespread appeal and the organization is committed to its long-term growth and success.
Proceeds from this charity dodgeball tournament will directly benefit the Paladin Sports Outreach Youth Scholarship Fund. This fund provides children of financially disadvantaged families the opportunity to participate in local, organized sports leagues. As with all of the organization's fund-raising events, the charity tournament will include a major donation drive for canned food and gently-used clothing and sporting equipment.
Registration to the tournament will open in March. This year's tournament will be split into three (3) divisions, adult competitive (18+), adult recreational (18+) and youth (ages 14-17).
This is a family-friendly event and will include raffles, food, & entertainment provided by Air1 / KLOVE Radio.
