YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – It’s time to come together and raise funds for our public schools. The upcoming 3rd annual Strike for Success dodgeball tournament will benefit Woodard Junior High School.
“We need the full community support. We need people to donate for sponsorships. People that want to produce a five person team and people who just want to donate for the cause. All of this money is 100% tax deductible. It’s going to be going through a 501 c3 nonprofit,” said Yuma Elementary School District One governing board member Jeff Stoner.
Yuma Elementary School District One governing board member Jeff Stoner is partnering with “Gateway to the Heart” to sponsor the event. All the money raised will go to the school’s band and dance teams plus library improvements
“So our library had to be remodeled, and so it hasn’t been usable for the last 3-4 years, and so I want to be able to put that space back together for them so that they have a place for their love of reading,” said Woodard Junior High School principal Nicole Alonzo.
You can participate through sponsorships, buying concessions from the teams, and entering the tournament with a team of five.
“We have $250, $500, and $750 sponsorships. Now those are just sponsorships. If you want to join a team and you only have $20, we’ll take your $20. This is a nonprofit donation. We want to be able to build up the teams, and somebody is going to go home with the championship trophy,” said Stoner.
The tournament is January 10th at the Woodard Junior High gym from 8am until the last team is standing. To register your team, donate, or for more info, contact Jeff Stoner through Facebook or cell phone at (928)304-8825.
