BAC staff member Heather Taylor will be working with Rebound of Whatcom County’s Ray of Hope summer camp program this summer! Ray of Hope is a 7 week day camp for school aged children with emotional, behavioral, and
economic challenges. Most of the kids that Rebound serves are low income and cannot afford to come to camp on their own, and they NEED YOUR HELP! So where does dodgeball fit in to summer camp? To help raise money for scholarships, Rebound is hosting their 3rd annual Throw It! Dodge It! Give It! Dodgeball Tournament on May 30th from 10am-3pm at the Bellingham Sports Plex! All proceeds go to help send vulnerable kids in our community to Ray of Hope where they will learn social skills to healthily cope with various life traumas. Cost is $35/person ($25/students) which includes a FREE LUNCH as well as prizes for Top Finishers, Best Costume, and Best Team Name! There will also be a raffle and gifts for the players. Your entry fee goes directly toward helping send one child to camp this summer. Heather’s goal is to raise enough money to scholarship one kid’s camp tuition (that’s $1200!). Registration closes on May 20th, so be sure to register your team early to save your spot! Don’t like dodge ball but want to help sponsor a kid? You still can! Heather will also be collecting check donations if dodge ball isn’t your thing!
