The Lindenwood athletic department is hosting its first annual Make-A-Wish Foundation Dodgeball Tournament this spring. The competition is open to all students and staff.

The event will take place on March 2 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Hyland Arena.

The tournament will consist of teams of five to eight members each. The entry fee will be $50 per team. Any team with more than five players is suggested to add a $10 donation per team member.

All proceeds will raise funds for the Make-A-Wish foundation.

“Make-A-Wish is an incredible organization that grants the wishes of children ages 2.5-18 years of age. Lindenwood student-athletes have raised over $50,000 for Make-A-Wish in the past 6 years,” Casey Finnell said.

Each team must fill-out an entry form.

Forms must be filled out by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 21. Those interested can enter here.
