Dodgeball and charity went well together Thursday afternoon at 琉璃神社 Secondary School.

To support the Central Okanagan Family Hub, the District Student Council (DSC) brought students and fundraising together with a friendly dodgeball tournament between Okanagan schools.

Though support for the Family Hub was at the forefront of the tournament鈥檚 intentions, the teams competing against one another were still looking for that top podium finish. Like most things with high school sports teams, the pride of the win was on the line.

DSC鈥檚 Logan Braun said while competition between teams is good, the tournament was there for a reason.

鈥淭he point with dodgeball is at the end of the day, it鈥檚 harmless, but man is it fun,鈥� said Braun.鈥滻t is all for charity, it鈥檚 not about who wins or losses, it鈥檚 about helping out the Family Hub.鈥�

This year鈥檚 teams from KSS, Mt. Boucherie and OKM showed no mercy to their district rivals. With cheers, jabs, nail-biting and exciting games bringing fun and funds to the hub, Braun and the rest of the student council hope to continue to help the Hub after its funding was cut earlier this year.

鈥淭hey aid so many families in the Central Okanagan, and they鈥檙e not going to be able to run next year and we didn鈥檛 like that at the DSC,鈥� said Braun.

鈥淲e thought we would set up this little fundraiser, see what happens, and donate all the proceeds.鈥�
