DODGE FOR A CAUSE

SAIL'S ANNUAL DODGEBALL TOURNAMENT

*ALL proceeds go to the designated philanthropy

Dodge for a Cause is SAIL's biggest service event of the year and is held at the beginning of the spring semester. Students from all over Texas A&M's campus are invited to participate in this dodge ball tournament where all the proceeds directly benefit our philanthropy.

WHAT ROLES DO SAIL'S SOPHOMORES PLAY IN THIS EVENT?
Sophomores in the Service committee are directly responsible for Dodge and determining SAIL's philanthropy for the school year. Planning this event also includes choosing a theme, reserving courts at the Rec., finding halftime entertainment, and coordinating with local businesses to serve as sponsors. In addition to sponsors and the dodgeball tournament itself, SAIL holds a silent auction among its members to support our philanthropy where we auction off everything from old apparel to lunch dates with one another. On the day of the event, our sophomores are the ones running the show as team managers, check-in attendants, and referees to make sure everything goes smoothly!

Look for Dodge for a Cause Banners on campus February th - February 18th and come back here to sign up!
