Dodgeball. It’s a game that is either loved or hated,
depending on your skills at evading and aiming.
Personally, I loved the game when I was a youth. Not only did I have a great arm, but I could
catch the ball pretty good too. I always
looked forward to gym class in the hopes that the activity would be
dodgeball.
My love
for the game is probably the reason an article in the newspaper caught my eye
while I was visiting my father in law. The
title of the article was "Dodgeball for Diapers."
According to the article, the Catholic schools in the area had a
Dodgeball Tournament. The price of
admission was a pack of diapers. The
schools also had internal contests to collect diapers. All of the diapers raised were donated to a
local organization serving underprivileged families.
I love this
story because I believe that charity should be fun. These schools found a creative and entertaining
way of collecting donations. And for one
day, everyone loved Dodgeball, even the less skilled because it was
being played for a good cause.
