Virginia Kickball Players Join Together to Kick Cancer



HAMPTON, VA - CLUBWAKA will host the 6th Annual CLUBWAKA Kicks Cancer Kickball Tournament on Saturday, October 20th, 2018 from 9 AM to 6 PM to raise money for the Sentara Cancer Network Mission Funds. The event, which will be held at Briarfield Park in Hampton, is a one-day adult coed kickball tournament with several teams and hundreds of players from Hampton Roads and Richmond competing.

The tournament will feature 3 guaranteed kickball games with the top qualifiers advancing to a single elimination bracket to determine the championship. All participants will receive an event t-shirt, invite to a post-game party that evening, and additional giveaways. There will be a DJ at the fields providing entertainment and lunch options will be available courtesy of Papa John’s of Hampton Roads. In addition to the kickball games, there will be additional contests and prizes for the teams with the most spirit and top independent fundraising efforts.

“Cancer has impacted us all, whether directly or indirectly. Everyone has friends, family, or loved ones who have battled this disease. We’ve had multiple members of our leagues diagnosed with cancer. We’re proud to support a great local charity that helps provide critical care for those fighting,” said Brent Wentworth, General Manager for CLUBWAKA Hampton Roads.

Contributions to the Sentara Cancer Network Mission Fund assist patients who are in need of medications and supplies not covered by insurance.  Cancer education pamphlets, books, support group meetings, and other supportive programs (art therapy, education classes, etc.) are also funded with these generous contributions.

CLUBWAKA was founded in 1998 and has exploded across the nation, becoming the country’s premier social club providing adult sports leagues, social activities, and events. The organization’s mission statement reads, “In everything we do, we believe in having fun. Life should be fun, and people should be happy. Our goal is to create 100 million smiles and our mission is to deliver the best fun and life-changing happiness. We do this by operating fantastic league, event, and party experiences.
