Dodgeball for Charity!

This past spring, eight staff members from OMH and SMC combined forces, took on the name of “Mighty Duckers” and went to battle with 17 other teams to see who would walk away with the coveted 2018 Salvation Army Dodgeball Tournament Trophy. To be honest, our team was hoping to just be able to still walk away. With the average age of 47, our team went up against much younger and more experienced group of teams in the double-elimination tournament held to help fund the Salvation Army’s at-risk youth program. Ryan Ray, the Salvation Army Development Director expressed “This is a high energy, a lot of fun, enjoyable tournament and it has a greater purpose.”

Although our team did not win the trophy, we did all walk away, with a sense of accomplishment. We knew we had contributed to a greater cause, and were able to give back to our community. We were able to continue to build the partnership between the Salvation Army, the community and The Ohio Masonic Home. We were able to bond together as a team and have some fun, and get to know one another outside of the work place, and we all survived without injury. We may not have won the tournament, but we were the best dressed team there thanks to The Ohio Masonic Home Print Shop, who designed and printed our custom made shirts. Next year, “we’ll be back!”
