Wanted: Levity-loving LGH staffers for dodgeball tournament
Are you an artful dodger (of balls)? Fleet of foot? Have an arm to rival Peyton Manning’s?
Or maybe you just have a burning desire to propel rubber balls at your coworkers?
Yes to all, you say. Then you need to round up your work peeps and get a crew in for the third annual Lions Gate Hospital Dodgeball Tournament. Warning: Pain may result from too much laughter. Good times are guaranteed. But more importantly, you’ll be an integral part of building convivial community spirit on the LGH campus.
Returning this year to battle (so far) are the VCH Precautionistas and an as-of-yet-unnamed team from the Project Management office (they must be too busy with Gantt charts to think of a name). All you need are six people to form a team.
The dodgeball tournament is part of the LGH Foundation’s week-long Swing into Spring celebration that runs March 1-4. Last year, a total of $4,400 was raised for the foundation.
Events include:
Tuesday, March 1 – Multicultural Day
11:30 am – 1:30 pm; LGH Lobby
