Dodgeball Tournament
Yellowknife
Fundraising Event
Register as a team of 6–8 or join on your own - everyone is welcome.
We plan to form one or two teams made up of individual participants and the rest signed up as teams.
This is a pay-what-you-can event; we suggest $10–$20 per person, but if that’s a barrier, you’re still welcome to participate.
All funds raised will help make sports and recreation more financially accessible for people in the NWT. We use the funds to give out 'sports sponsorships' of up to $250 per person to access sports.
